Description
The Interfaith Civic Pluralism Fellowship is a 12-month program designed for civic leaders of faith and conscience who are committed to advancing pluralism and religious liberty in their communities. Fellows participate in collaborative learning with peers and scholars, develop actionable strategies to foster interfaith cooperation, and receive funding to support projects that implement these strategies. The program emphasizes relationship-building, public storytelling, and integrating pluralism into the ongoing work of fellows’ organizations. Participants are expected to work closely with at least one other fellow in their funded project and engage the public through storytelling or media.
