    Interfaith Youth Core Project
    plan interfaith service projects

    The Interfaith Youth Core runs a Chicago-based program called the Chicago Youth Council. This is a small group of high school students and college student mentors who spend the school year planning interfaith service projects for the common good in the city of Chicago. This is the first year we are opening this program to university students outside DePaul University (where the program participants meet on a weekly basis). We have chosen to do this because of the nature of the Chicago Youth Council in the 2006-2007 school year. Each year the CYC designs and plans its own service experience and creates a highly innovative piece of media around this project (i.e children�s book, CD, DVD, Art on film, etc.) But this coming year we have added a twist . . .

    This coming year the CYC is Going Global!

    We have partnered with a group of students in Amman, Jordan and will be using all the fabulous technology we have at our finger tips to build a relationship with them as we both run interfaith projects in our respective cities. The hope is to travel to each others� countries next summer to see the results of our projects.

    Also, the IFYC will be making a feature length documentary about the CYC and their project!

    So, if you are interested in being a part of this group and can make the commitment I urge you to apply. I have attached the application to this email and we will be accepting them until the end of August. The program begins in September. This is a competitive application process as we are only taking 10 students this year so please take care in filling out your application. I look forward to hearing from you all soon. Contact Mariah Neuroth, IFYC Senior Program Director at mariah@ifyc.org for more info.
