Around the globe, religiously diverse young people are interacting more than ever. This interaction can lead towards conflict or cooperation. Interfaith Youth Core works with young people and their allies to make sure that this interaction leads to positive, cooperative relationships in local communities.
We believe there will be no peace in the world without religious pluralism, and no religious pluralism without the leadership of young people. Interfaith leadership is the key to ensuring that the 21st Century is defined by common service, not conflict, among the world’s diverse religious communities.
Interfaith Boot Camp 101 will engage participants in the question of how young people can be the architects of interfaith service. This conference is hosted at B'nai Israel Synagogue and engages us in the following daytime and evening programs.

Interfaith Youth Core Trainer Bio
Hannah McConnaughay currently serves as a Program Associate in the Outreach Education and Training Department of the Interfaith Youth Core, traveling to college campuses and communities to promote religious pluralism and offer skills trainings.
Hannah graduated Phi Beta Kappa with a B.A. in Religious Studies and Economics from the University of Chicago and has previously worked in the fields of rape crisis, social work, and educational enrichment programming.
While at the University of Chicago she was a member of the Interfaith Youth Core Fellows Alliance, a group of interfaith campus leaders from across the country. Her childhood in East Asia and service experiences in religious communities like the Mississippi Delta drew her to interfaith work, and the incredible stories of youth peace building she encountered kept her there. Hannah is a Christian, committed to the call to work for justice and commune with all people that her faith has taught her.
