A few years ago, I staffed this amazing program - this year, they
are looking for more college age participants! Let me know if I can
tell you more!<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><small><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> July
10-17<sup>th</sup> at Brandeis University, we will be having
the first
ever Interfaith Youth Intitative (IFYI)College-Age program!</span></small></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The IFYI - Interfaith Youth Initiative -
College-Age program will train you as an interfaith
leader- someone who can go back to your campus, and inspire others
to serve,
make peace, build bridges, and engage faith.<span style="">
</span>This interfaith program connects you with people of other
traditions, AND
deepens your own faith tradition. There is no more critical time
to build up
such leaders than now. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">As an IFYI participant, you will explore and
embrace your
own leadership and peacemaking styles, becoming agents of positive
social
transformation in your schools, communities, and congregations.
IFYI offers a
dynamic mix of community building, fun social activities,
workshops, service
experiences, and learning trips which engage urban and suburban
realities.
Participants express their visions of faith, justice, and peace
through
visual art, poetry/spoken word, theological reflection, dance,
drama, and
film. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All are welcome at IFYI! Participants and
staff come
from diverse religious backgrounds and grow more deeply in their
own religious
traditions through dialogue and interaction with others. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p>
