Interfaith Youth Core
The Interfaith Youth Core is a Chicago USA based organisation whose goals are to “1) build widespread public support for interfaith youth work; 2) equip youth-focused institutions to positively engage their religious diversity; and 3) cultivate long-term impact by emerging leaders in this movement.” They’ve been around since 1998, have an impressive (if somehow almost overly “establishment”) board of directors, and are being supported by Tony Blair’s Faith Foundation. They’ve partnered with a number of high-profile Not-For-Profits.
Many North Americans that I meet complain that there’s little happening on the interfaith scene; organisations like Interfaith Youth Core provide evidence that good stuff is happening, but not receiving widespread attention.
At least Voice of America (not a source that I find myself visiting regularly!) found it interesting enough to run a story on the Interfaith Youth Core.
