Our Sectors
The Emerging Leaders Network inspires, equips, and connects interfaith leaders to build on our nation’s key strength of religious diversity.
Emerging Leaders
In a multicultural society like the United States, it is common for belief systems and worldviews to be shaped by multiple influences. Interfaith cooperation allows us to appreciate the values and traditions of other worldviews.
We connect and support young professionals dedicated to building on America’s foundational strength of religious diversity.
Interfaith America’s Emerging Leaders Network is composed of more than two thousand diverse, multifaceted, innovative, and motivated individuals, who influence how healthcare, business, non-profits, religious communities, government, and other sectors engage with religious diversity.
Interfaith America’s Emerging Leaders have access to network of incredible individuals and can connect with them through mentorship opportunities, Social Media (Facebook and LinkedIn groups), local gatherings, and an annual national convening. There are also exclusive grant opportunities such as the Building Interfaith America Grants and fellowships such as the Interfaith Innovation and Sacred Journey Fellowships.
Young professionals can join Interfaith America’s Emerging Leaders Network by completing an online training INTF 1101 Interfaith Foundations for Emerging Leaders and registering here.
Grants are offered to the members of the Emerging Leaders Network to create initiatives, events, or projects that Build Interfaith America.
The Interfaith Innovation Fellowship awards $5,000 to ten interfaith leaders every year, each with an inspirational vision for social change.
The Sacred Journey Fellowship provides $15,000 awards over two years to support faith leaders who are demonstrating the power of interfaith cooperation to bridge deep divisions in America’s civic fabric.
