Interfaith Youth Core

Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) "is structured around three main programmatic areas: Public Advocacy, Outreach Education & Training, and Leadership. These three programmatic areas work cohesively within the framework of our organizational goals, which are to: 1) build widespread public support for interfaith youth work; 2) equip youth-focused institutions to positively engage their religious diversity; and 3) cultivate long-term impact by emerging leaders in this movement."
