Whether at the doctor, the polls, or a concert, diversity of identity and perspective is omnipresent in American life. As that diversity increases and plays an even more prominent role in our relations with others, IA is working to embed a respect-relate-cooperate paradigm across our civic landscape. From disaster relief to climate change, from refugee resettlement to election integrity, religiously diverse communities are key leaders and vital contributors to the lifeblood of America’s civic landscape.
Interfaith America turns shared values into shared action by working with religiously diverse communities around common goals. A thriving, resilient democracy must engage religious diversity for the common good. While polarization appears to dominate the nation, a majority of Americans want to live in a religiously diverse democracy — though they may lack the skills to unlock that diversity’s potential.
Interfaith America inspires, equips, and connects faith and civic leaders to foster interfaith understanding and collaboration for the common good. We empower leaders to mobilize across differences on issues of shared concern.
Interfaith America is proud to be a founding partner of The Team Up Project, alongside Catholic Charities USA, Habitat for Humanity International and YMCA of the USA. The project empowers people to build connections and work together across differences with others in their communities for the common good. The Best of America series highlights how everyday leaders are strengthening communities with the support of The Team Up Project.
Interfaith America inspires, equips, and connects interfaith leaders who influence how healthcare, business, non-profits, religious communities, government, and other sectors engage with religious diversity. Our Emerging Leaders Network is composed of more than two thousand young professionals dedicated to building on America’s foundational strength of religious diversity.
Interfaith America offers a suite of educational resources to help you realize your goals.
Let’s build an interfaith America, where people of all beliefs work together for the common good.
