Interfaith Youth Ambassadors

 

InterFaith Youth Ambassadors

 

Step into something bigger. CIC’s Interfaith Youth Ambassadors Program invites high school students from all religious and cultural backgrounds to explore faith, leadership, and service—together.

Held on Saturdays throughout August, this free program is designed for rising sophomores through seniors (10th–12th grade) who are ready to build bridges across traditions, grow as leaders, and reflect on their own spiritual identities. Registration is now open and the deadline to sign up is June 8th. (*The program is capped at 25 students, so space is limited.)

Over five Surdays in August, students will: 

  • Participate in student-led interfaith dialogues
  • Tour sacred spaces across Central Indiana
  • Share meals and conversations around the intersection of faith and careers
  • Engage with civic and vocational community leaders
  • Reflect on and share their personal faith stories

Each session is hosted by a different faith community, offering authentic and immersive experiences rooted in hospitality, learning, and respect.

*Must be able to attend at least 4 of the 5 sessions.
