Statement of Activities 25 OUR MISSION Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC) seeks to make interfaith cooperation a social norm. Too often in our world today, religion is seen as a barrier of division. IFYC believes faith can be a bridge of cooperation, strengthening our civil society and promoting the common good. We believe young interfaith leaders will build these bridges. Since 2002, IFYC has worked on five continents and with over 200 college and university campuses, training thousands in the principles of interfaith leadership, and reaching millions through the media. IFYC has worked with partners including the , the Tony Blair Faith Foundation, and the Office of Her Majesty Queen Rania of Jordan.

2 Founder’s Let- Dear Friends,

In our last report, I promised an update on our strategic plan. So many good things have happened; I couldn’t wait to write this letter.

In the summer of 2009, IFYC partnered with McKinsey & Company to conduct a strategic analysis of our programs. This analysis indicated that the most effective way to fulfill our long-term mission - to make interfaith cooperation a social norm - is for IFYC to focus on three areas: Change the public discourse about religion from one of inevitable conflict to one of cooperation;

Nurture and network a critical mass of emerging interfaith leaders; and

Partner with college campuses to build successful models of interfaith cooperation. We have made remarkable progress in each of our strategies. 2010 highlights include:

IFYC played a leading role in changing the narrative that dominated a “summer of intolerance.” Through multiple media channels, we spread an effective and hopeful counter-narrative that the arc of American history bends towards inclusion for all.

The American ideal of inclusion is not inevitable and is achieved only when individuals stand up for it. To help develop the next generation of interfaith leaders, in 2010 IFYC created the Interfaith Leadership Institute. The Institute, launched in conjunction with IFYC’s interfaith social action campaign, Better Together, provides intensive training to equip young leaders with the skills needed to run Better Together on their campuses.

We partnered with four institutions to begin building successful models of interfaith cooperation: Berea College in Kentucky and DePaul, Dominican and Loyola Universities in Chicago. We are thrilled to report growing interest from vanguard campuses nationwide. From launching these new programs to traveling to campuses around the country to building our new website and social media strategy, saying we had a busy year would be an understatement.

Please know that the progress we report in the following pages couldn’t be possible without you. I can’t thank you enough for your support of this movement.

Sincerely,

Eboo Patel Interfaith Youth Core Founder and President 3 “Georgetown has an Interfaith Council composed of student representatives from all campus ministry groups. This group has mostly focused on dialogue and awareness, rather than action. Our mission with the Better Together Campaign is to challenge the Interfaith Council to take the next step and try some interfaith action.”

- Aamir Hussain, Georgetown University What if college students started a nationwide movement for interfaith cooperation? Introducing the Better Together Campaign

In 2010, IFYC took action on the most valuable lessons we’ve learned about empowering student leaders. Through our new interfaith social action campaign, Better Together, all IFYC leaders are now trained in three core competencies for building a movement of interfaith cooperation on their campus: Speak Out, Mobilize, and Sustain. Together, they respond to the question, “What if people of all faiths and traditions took action together to change the world?” with one powerful answer: “As a campus, community, country, and world, we are Better Together.”

All student interfaith leaders trained by IFYC were called to action to run the Better Together Campaign on their campuses in 2010, which included a “What IF” Speak-In, a common action project, and a Better Together Bash. Students took action with campaigns across the nation, from addressing homelessness in South Carolina to weatherizing low-income homes in Boston.

BY THE NUMBERS Better Together

Over 1,000 Over 70 Better 19 campuses held attended speak-in Together campaigns “speak-in” events events organized by sparked nationwide campaign leaders

In conjunction with Better Together, IFYC launched a new training model: the Interfaith Leadership Institute (ILI). Undergraduate students, faculty, and staff apply as small delegations by campus to attend ILIs, where students are equipped to speak out, mobilize, and sustain interfaith action on campus through the campaign. Campus faculty and staff participants are equipped to support students running Better Together and explore best practices for advancing interfaith cooperation at an institutional level.

BY THE NUMBERS Inaugural Interfaith Leadership Institute, October 2010 200 students and 100 campus staff participants. Sparked over 100 related news stories on student interfaith work. 130+ campuses represented.

5 “IFYC Fellows have played an invaluable role in advancing our efforts at inter-religious engagement at Amherst College. The mentoring and training that they received through IFYC enabled them to bring fresh ideas to our multifaith council. The approach of IFYC is to come alongside of the work being done and see how they can be supportive. I have found their perspective and help to be invaluable.”

- Paul V. Sorrentino, Director of Religious Life at Amherst College What if college campuses led the way in making interfaith cooperation a national priority?

IFYC’s Campus Partnerships program advances a movement for interfaith cooperation in higher education by prioritizing the positive engagement of religious diversity on campus. IFYC’s engagements help individual campuses promote interfaith cooperation and inspire students to take action. More broadly within the sector of higher education, Campus Partnerships engages in agenda-setting activities, such as hosting convenings, producing publications and resources, and developing strategic partnerships. Featured Model Engagement: DePaul University

IFYC launched its new model campus initiative with DePaul University in summer 2010. Building on their strong existing interfaith programs, IFYC worked with DePaul over the course of four months to implement Phase I of the initiative, which seeks to lay the groundwork to build a model campus of interfaith cooperation. With DePaul, IFYC facilitated a student body-wide survey on religious pluralism, a faculty and staff questionnaire, focus groups, individual interviews, and task teams to research particular areas of inquiry.

At the end of the engagement, IFYC provided a detailed report outlining existing assets and programs for interfaith work on campus, as well as a set of concrete recommendations and an implementation plan for these recommendations. This engagement was an important step for DePaul toward a more holistic approach in cultivating interfaith cooperation across campus. IFYC also partnered with Berea College as well as Dominican and Loyola Universities to implement Phase I engagements.

“I thought it was a very fair assessment. When I read [the report], I thought to myself, ‘Yup, they figured us out.’ This will help shape our work going forward.” - Father Holtschneider, President, DePaul University

IFYC and the White House: Advancing Interfaith Cooperation and Service in Higher Education

In June 2010, the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships hosted a gathering of leaders within higher education to discuss “Advancing Interfaith and Community Service on College and University Campuses.” This gathering, facilitated in part by IFYC and based on recommendations from the Advisory Council to the White House Office of Faith-based and Neighborhood Partnerships, demonstrated the White House’s dedication to promoting interfaith cooperation. Over 150 participants from across the country assembled for this half-day meeting, which launched a national conversation on the best ways to spread this movement in higher education.

Following the convening, IFYC saw a heightened interest in answering the White House’s call to take action within the sector of higher education. In response, we convened a second gathering, this time at DePaul University, to discuss best practices of interfaith cooperation in higher education and strategies to prioritize this movement within the sector. Over 75 campus faculty, staff, and administrators from across the country attended, and their conversations led to a report: “Interfaith Cooperation and American Higher Education: Recommendations, Best Practices, and Case Studies.” In October 2010 when IFYC launched our inaugural Interfaith Leadership Institute in Washington, D.C., the White House once again agreed to support the cause of interfaith service on campuses by hosting a welcome session. 7 “From [IFYC’s] sessions we were able to highlight and recognize that there were a wide range of interfaith and religious diversity programs taking place on and around our campus. This increased awareness has led us to more collaborations and interfaith support of programs. IFYC's inclusive approach encourages students to learn about their own faith traditions and understand other faith traditions. This learn-and-exchange approach is the hallmark of a well rounded education and prepares students to lead in a global society as they move on after completing their education.”

- Shakeer Abdullah, Director of the Multicultural Center, Auburn University What if interfaith leaders built bridges of cooperation between diverse communities?

In the same way that other social movements have a clear category of leadership, such as “environmentalist” or “human rights activist,” the interfaith movement needs a set of leaders equipped to make this vision a widespread reality. An interfaith leader is someone who casts the vision of interfaith cooperation, speaks out about the importance of interfaith cooperation, and mobilizes diverse people for dialogue and common action.

IFYC identifies, trains, and supports emerging interfaith leaders. Here are some of their stories.

Greg Damhorst

“IFYC has given me a framework for bringing people together. Whether it was the realization that I’ve never talked about some of the most meaningful things in life with people I see every day, or the urge to be less self-centered while people are in need. IFYC appealed to my passions for making the world a better place. IFYC also showed me how to be a better Christian through not just building friendships, but through friendships that have purpose: to inspire and serve others.”

Greg is currently pursuing a MD/PhD in Bio- engineering and Physics at the Department of Bioengineering and the College of Medicine at the University of at Urbana-Champaign. Greg’s group at the university, Interfaith in Action, teamed up with the Salvation Army and Numana, Inc. to help earthquake victims by packing “A University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign Million Meals for Haiti.” They had over 5,000 IFYC Conference Scholarship Recipient 09 people volunteer over two days and exceeded their goal by packing a total of 1,012,464 meals. The event was organized in a matter of weeks and the task completed in less than 12 hours. 10 “The IFYC staff has been very helpful this past year as our campus began to shift from aspirational efforts in interfaith relations to actual engagement in the context of strategic planning. The IFYC networking strategy has enabled us to collaborate with other institutions in central for mutual benefit.”

- Michael Cartwright, Dean for Ecumenical & Interfaith Programs, University of Indianapolis Aubrey Rose

“My experience with Interfaith Youth Core has given me the tools, support, and most importantly, the confidence to be a successful interfaith organizer. The skills I learned from Interfaith Youth Core programs have encouraged me to be a leader on my college campus, in mobilizing the interfaith youth movement and beyond.”

“When I started working as an intern at IFYC, I knew I was interested in interfaith work, religion, and social justice – but I didn’t know what that looked like, and I didn’t know how I fit in as a Secular Humanist. It wasn’t until I became an intern that I found not only a place for me, but my vocation: to build a bridge between religious and non-religious communities.”

S2N leaders received specialized training that included immigration education, faith reflection, and tools for interfaith organizing around immigration-related issues. Additionally, S2N staff consulted organizations including Welcoming America, Church World Service, and Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, and worked closely with the national Interfaith Immigration Coalition to create a young leaders initiative which connects young interfaith and immigration leaders nationally through social media and monthly conference calls.

13 “I came to the Institute expecting to learn a few new program ideas, maybe a suggestion for how to tweak the good work we are already doing at Columbia. Instead, I came away with a true paradigm shift.”

- Simon Klarfeld, Executive Director of the Columbia/Barnard Hillel Faiths Act Fellowship

The Faiths Act Fellowship — a program of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation in collaboration with Interfaith Youth Core — catalyzed action between people of different faiths to achieve the United Nations’ Millennium Development Goals by training and deploying outstanding young leaders. In the inaugural year of the Fellowship (2009-10), 30 young people from Canada, the UK, and the US worked in pairs for 10 months to mobilize the communities around them. These communities worked together across faith lines to raise funds and awareness to bring an end to malaria, building strong interfaith relationships along the way.

Meet a Pair of Faiths Act Fellows: Karem Issa and Ushna Mughal

Karem Issa, an Egyptian-British Muslim, and Ushna Mughal, a Pakistani-British Catholic, were placed in Blackburn, UK - one of Britain’s most ethnically and religiously divided cities. Their campaign took off after their delivery of the Sunday sermon at the local Anglican Cathedral, something a Muslim-Catholic pair of young people had never before done. Their call to action was taken up by the community, and the interfaith cooperation Ushna and Karem sparked led to concrete results. They raised $10,000, recruited 1,600 people to attend their events, and were featured in multiple media pieces, one of which announced Archbishop Desmond Tutu’s praise for Karem and Ushna’s efforts.

Post-Fellowship, they both continue to advance the movement for interfaith cooperation. Ushna works as the Regional Coordinator of the South East England Faiths Forum in Surrey, UK. Karem serves on the interfaith relations committee of the Muslim Council of Britain, runs “Faith and Fair Trade” interfaith workshops, and organized an interfaith iftar at the village mosque in Achiase, Ghana which drew 250 attendees. 15 “A the Interfaith Youth Core, I learned valuable skills that helped me create a safe dialogue about Islam with my peers and build a deeper bond of friendship through understanding.”

Meet a Community Ambassador: Tawfiq Farraj

“IFYC has definitely opened up my eyes to the interfaith work that needs to be done. I think interfaith work does not end at just trying to know a community, but using what you have learned about your fellow man to make positive contributions in one’s community. IFYC has allowed me to gain that knowledge and help my community.”

Tawfiq, 25, grew up on the South Side of Chicago and lives in the Brighton Park neighborhood. He sits on the board of the Chicago chapter of the Council for the Advancement of Muslim Professionals (CAMP), which hosts dozens of educational and community service events throughout the year. A Palestinian American, Tawfiq’s experience growing up Muslim in a predominantly Catholic neighborhood gave him a passion for interfaith cooperation, which he carries out through committed involvement with the Jewish Muslim Community Building Initiative (JMCBI).

In 2010 Tawfiq hosted a successful “Iftar in the Synagogue” event during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which was attended by nearly 250 Chicagoans. Tawfiq also organizes Café Finjan – a night of artistic expression and social action to develop interfaith relationships between Chicago’s Jewish and Muslim communities.

The “Summer of Intolerance”

Throughout summer 2010, American discourse was poisoned by loud and aggressive voices of intolerance, from the Park51 controversy to threats to burn the Qur’an on 9/11.

IFYC provided an alternate voice – one of inclusion and hope - by highlighting the inspiring work of young leaders on college campuses and in communities across America. IFYC focused on the fact that religion can be a positive force for good in the world today, from interfaith efforts to eradicate deaths due to malaria, to feeding earthquake victims in Haiti, to addressing local issues like homelessness.

“I’m part of the ‘us.’ And if we confuse this, if we get a sense that it is a religion against us, this is only going to get worse. We are America, a nation based on diversity, a nation based on E Pluribus Unum, out of many one. And I am proud to be part of that nation.”

19 Letter from Our Chairman

Dear Friends,

It has been an honor to serve as Chairman of Interfaith Youth Core for the past year and a half. Having served on various non-profit governing Boards over the past four decades, I can honestly say that I have never seen an organization come so far, so fast.

Much credit for the trajectory of IFYC is due to the extraordinary dedication of the staff, which consistently inspires others to commit to the cause of building interfaith cooperation. The quality of the young leaders recruited by IFYC year after year is undeniable and is a direct reflection of the organization’s character itself. The role that IFYC’s Founder and President, Eboo Patel, plays in setting a clear standard of excellence cannot be overstated.

What I am increasingly seeing at IFYC and what gives me even greater hope for the future is how deeply the commitment to excellence is shared across the entire organization. The Board of Directors increased its commitment to advance IFYC’s work last year, adding top civic leaders to its ranks and generating more philanthropy than it had in the combined eight years since IFYC was incorporated as a nonprofit entity in 2002.

Last year, IFYC’s Board and executive staff aligned the organization and its programs into a highly focused strategic plan. Remarkable progress was made throughout 2010, much of which is described in this report. We understand the great work that lies ahead of us, though, if we are to realize IFYC’s mission of making interfaith cooperation a social norm in our time.

My fellow Directors and I share the belief that IFYC’s work has never been more important than it is right now. With a strong and committed Board, an inspired and gifted staff, and a growing movement of young interfaith leaders and their faculty and staff allies on college campuses across the country, we are primed for continued achievement toward our strategic plan.

Thank you for supporting Interfaith Youth Core.

Sincerely,

Howard C. Morgan Chairman of the Interfaith Youth Core Board
