About Our Consulting
Background
Interfaith America builds on over 15 years of consulting experience in higher education to bring expertise in religious diversity to workplace settings and beyond.
Consulting Strategy
Interfaith America offers both capacity-building sessions and longer-term consultations designed to support institutions seeking to strengthen interfaith skill-sets across their teams and make interfaith engagement one of their strategic priorities.
Why Consulting
Too often religion is viewed as a problem to be solved. At Interfaith America, we know that religious diversity is a strength, not a weakness. We work with institutional leaders to identify assets and opportunities for growth for engaging religious diversity across their organizations. Using case studies, research, and best practices, we guide institutional partners to set organization-wide priorities and develop goal-oriented initiatives.

Inspiration & Awareness
IA sets the stage for engaging religious diversity in your workplace by examining how companies have addressed religion in the workplace — both pitfalls and successes — and exploring how to constructively engage religious diversity at work and in the marketplace.
Interfaith ERG Design & Support
IA supports organizational leaders who want to start an Interfaith Employee Resource Group by offering design guidance and resources rooted in best practices in the field. IA also helps established Interfaith ERGs deepen their impact through professional development opportunities for leadership teams and by facilitating high-quality programming including panel discussions and keynotes.
Strategy & Training
IA develops customized education and training modules to help companies achieve their diversity, equity, and inclusion goals.
