To help you design your project, take a look at the resources we've posted here.
Materials from the Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC):
Here are some general guidelines:
- The National Day of Interfaith Youth Service Toolkit. A soup-to-nuts support kit that tells you how to build a group to take part in the national day of service next April. This is a great way to participate in CampusQuest.
- The Hospitality Module. All religions have in common a tradition of showing hospitality to strangers. This module gives you a set of activities to help members of your group explore their own religions from the perspective of their hospitality traditions, and then to translate that exploration into a service project in your community.
- The Martin Luther King Module. The life of Martin Luther King, Jr., lies at the heart of the interfaith movement. His work has shown people all over the world how to imagine that communities bound by different faiths could work together for the good of all humanity. This module introduces Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist, and Muslim leaders who inspired Dr. King, and includes a discussion guide to help your group translate their teachings into action and service.
The Quest for Peace. Faith & Values Media has produced a reality TV show that follows three multiethnic teams of young Christians, Jews and Muslims as they travel to the Middle East, the Mediterranean, and the United States on a mission. They explore complicated questions about religious tolerance and seek to understand the prospects for peace. For information on how to screen this video on your campus, write to info@campusquest.org.
