Interfaith Youth Core new article content ...

Founded in 2002, Interfaith Youth Core^[1] is an interfaith organization in the United States that seeks to make interfaith cooperation a social norm. It’s mission is to “build a movement of people from all faiths and traditions” that work together to change the world.

IFYC is a Chicago-based organization that's striving to build a global interfaith youth movement. The organization’s guiding ideas, as described on their website, are as follows:

1. Appreciative knowledge of diverse religious traditions and philosophical perspectives. 2. Meaningful encounters between people of different faith and philosophical backgrounds, and ^[2] 3. Common action projects between people of different backgrounds ^[3].

Students across the United States are participating in IFYC’s Better Together Campaign, a year-long Campaign lead by students to take social action through interfaith cooperation^[4][5][6][7]. According to IFYC, it has three goals:

1. Empower students like to lead activities that build interfaith cooperation on campus, 2. Equip campuses to become places where a critical mass of students participate in interfaith action and conversation, and 3. Spark a global movement of interfaith cooperation with college and university campuses at the center.

Eboo Patel^[8] is Founder and President of IFYC. Author of Acts of Faith^[9]. Eboo is also a regular contributor to the Washington Post, USA Today^[10][11] and CNN.
