The Interfaith Initiative

Caring and Celebrating 50 Years - 50 Service Projects

WHAT: Groups of youth and young adults of diverse faith traditions are invited to join together to form an interfaith working group to engage in a community service activity.

The type of activity is open: working with issues impacting the underserved, such as poverty, the environment, the disabled, animal rights, the aged, immigrants and refugees, etc. An activity that seeks to make a change, however small, for the better in our regional community is appropriate.

HOW - FUNDING: Each combined group is eligible to receive up to $500 towards their service project.

WHO: Multiple faith groups of tweens, teens, and/or young adults.

WHY: In celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Nostra Aetate, a seminal Catholic Church document proclaiming the importance of cooperation among people of different faiths for the betterment of society, groups of any and all faith traditions are welcome and encouraged to apply.

WHEN: Applications accepted until May 1, 2016
