At Interfaith America, I love working with extraordinary colleagues and forward-thinking clients — workplace leaders and institutions who cultivate pluralism as a future-ready leadership skill and organizational culture practice. Using our research-backed Respect–Relate–Cooperate framework, we work together to turn difference into strength — building trust, innovation, and belonging across beliefs and backgrounds.
In a polarized world, pluralism is our path to peace, prosperity, and shared purpose so people and planet, purpose and performance, can thrive.
– Zahra Jamal, Director of Workplace Strategy
I joined Interfaith America as an Executive Assistant and, over four years, grew into a Senior Executive Assistant supporting the Chief Program Officer and Chief Impact Officer. During that time, I’ve been encouraged to deepen my strategic skills, take initiative, and grow alongside the mission. What makes this work especially meaningful is Interfaith America’s commitment to bridgebuilding at a time of deep polarization. Being part of an organization that takes this challenge seriously—and lives its values internally—has shaped how I show up as a professional and as a person.

Working at Interfaith America gives me the opportunity to collaborate with senior leaders at colleges and universities nationwide to foster understanding, inclusion, and meaningful dialogue across diverse communities. It’s inspiring to see our efforts bridge differences and build stronger relationships. Being part of an organization that’s truly moving the needle on pluralism makes my work deeply fulfilling. It is a constant reminder of the power of collaboration and shared purpose.
– Reaz Khan, Program Manager
I enjoy working at Interfaith America for several reasons. Most of all, the people that I get to work with every day. Everyone is so kind and thoughtful, and it is inspiring to see the passion and dedication that my coworkers bring to work each day.
I also see Interfaith America investing in its employees through internal and external professional development opportunities and encouraging good work-life balance, such as giving us time off to revitalize ourselves with creative endeavors. I consistently use that time to volunteer, make pottery, or go to museums and plays with my colleagues.
– Ramsey Hufford, Program Assistant
Interfaith America is a special place. A place where we get to work on cutting-edge approaches to important challenges, where we get to do so with incredibly smart and thoughtful colleagues, and where the team’s steadfast commitment to excellence is matched by its deep commitment to showing up for one another as human beings. I love it here.

– JENAN MOHAJIR, Vice President of External Affairs
At Interfaith America, I am privileged to work with talented colleagues who come from diverse educational and professional backgrounds – higher education, religion, business, nonprofit management, and more – to move forward a shared vision for our religiously diverse democracy. It is energizing to work for an organization that is both laser-focused on the mission and highly adaptable, where we are constantly learning from each other and from the field and innovating in new ways.
– Rebecca Russo, Vice President of Higher Education Strategy
By working at IA, I know I am making a difference. We strive to make the world a better place, to combat polarization and division in this country.
