Apply to Join the Interfaith Ambassadors!

By Faculty and Staff, Students

If you are passionate about promoting belonging and justice and care about making sure people of all faiths feel safe and respected, you may be interested in joining the Interfaith Ambassadors team. Grow leadership, conflict resolution and creative problem-solving skills while learning about religions, spiritualities, and cultural practices.

Interfaith Ambassadors work directly with the assistant director for spiritual life to show students of all faiths (and lack thereof) that they belong through education, advocacy and targeted problem-solving work. This is experiential learning and a great resume-builder. The group is now taking applications for the Spring 2025 cohort. Time commitment is generally 1 hour per week for meetings, and occasionally 2 or 3 hours for events. Ambassadors may also earn the Interfaith Leadership digital badge. Apply by January 8th if interested.
