WE’RE SEARCHING FOR YOUNG LEADERS COMMITTED TO GLOBAL ACTION.This Fall, thirty outstanding young leaders from the US, UK and Canada will reach across faith lines and work together toward building a movement of global social action.
We are now seeking applications from outstanding young people and potential host organizations to take part in a brand-new initiative run by the Interfaith Youth Core and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation called the Faiths Act Fellowship.
The Faiths Act Fellowship will empower thirty religiously diverse young leaders from the US, UK and Canada to serve as inter-religious ambassadors for the Millennium Development Goals.
In August 2009, these young leaders will embark together on a 10 month journey of interfaith service in the fight to eradicate deaths due to malaria. The fellowship begins with two months of intensive training with Tony Blair in London and the Interfaith Youth Core in Chicago. Fellows will then be placed with primary health care partners in Africa for a one month intensive immersion program. After having been introduced to the important role of interfaith cooperation in helping fight malaria on the ground in Africa, Fellows will return to their home countries where they will spend the next 8 months raising awareness and resources. Working in religiously diverse pairs, the young leaders will inspire others in their home communities to take action.
Together, the Faiths Act Fellows will show their faith in a brighter future and prove to the world that Faiths Act.
