Interfaith Center of Greater Philadelphia

About us

The Interfaith Center is a nonprofit organization that helps to strengthen and enhance awareness of the rich diversity of religious traditions in the Greater Philadelphia region. The Center arose to fill a void and emerged as the first multi-faith organization in our region principally dedicated to interreligious dialogue, education, and community building at the grassroots and leadership levels.
The Interfaith Center offers a variety of initiatives that promote interfaith dialogue, education, and community building at the grassroots and leadership levels. Its programs include:

• Walking the Walk, a service-learning program for high school students seeking interaction with peers from different religious traditions;
• Interfaith Education and Dialogue workshops, tailored to the group or community requesting such programs;
• Quest, a monthly interfaith book group;
• Interfaith Women Clergy of the Delaware Valley, ongoing networking opportunities and an annual retreat for female religious leaders of the region;
• Alternative Spring Break, a week-long interfaith service-learning immersion experience for college students during their spring break.

In addition, the Interfaith Center offers administrative and staff support to the Religious Leaders Council, whose purpose is to build relationships of mutual support, offer a moral and spiritual voice, and take action on critical issues of concern in our region.
