Interfaith Ambassadors Team Taking Applications for Fall 2024 Cohort

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 wellness 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 Fall 2024 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 September 5th.

PS: Spiritual Life is also hiring paid interns for the academic year! Learn more about internships on Handshake.
