What People Are Saying...
The program participants learned a different approach to ‘thinking’… I liked their [IFYC] approach to this: starting with things you have in common rather than the things that make us different.
-Zoe Hruban, University of Chicago Student |
Outreach Education and Training Campus and Community Visits:
Our OET team regularly works with college campuses and community organizations to build religious pluralism. Last year we worked with over 90 different campuses and communities around the country.
Days of Interfaith Youth Service
Every April, thousands of religiously diverse young people come together in hometowns and college campuses around the world to serve their communities and engage in dialogue.
Inspired To Serve:
Youth-Led Interfaith Action
A partnership between the Interfaith Youth Core and the Search Institute, Inspired to Serve is a three-year pilot program designed to enhance the capacity of faith-based organizations to engage young people in interfaith service. Inspired to Serve projects are happening in four cities: Chicago, New Orleans, Philadelphia and St. Paul.
