Faiths Act is a global movement of people of different faiths in over 75 countries, taking action together against preventable disease and extreme poverty. Faiths Act Fellows in the UK, US and Canada are leading the campaign. We are pleased to announce that in 2011, India will also be joining the Fellowship programme.

The Faiths Act Fellowship aims to mobilize interfaith action to end extreme poverty by connecting outstanding young interfaith leaders with leading NGOs working towards the UN’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

The Faiths Act Fellowship is a year-long, paid international Fellowship that brings together exceptional future leaders inspired by faith to serve as interfaith ambassadors for the United Nation’s Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

Faiths Act Fellows build partnerships across faith lines in their home countries to show the world how faith can be a positive global force in the 21st century. Faiths Act Fellows work in local NGOs to mobilize communities to take part in MDG-focused, multi-faith action. Fellows receive a stipend and health benefits throughout the Fellowship year.

The Faiths Act Fellowship is a program of the Tony Blair Faith Foundation in collaboration with Interfaith Youth Core.

Fellows are young leaders chosen from a highly competitive pool of applicants based on their interfaith expertise, experience in global poverty issues, skills, character, and leadership potential. Fellows work in interfaith pairs on specific work plans and assignments outlined by their Host Organization and the Fellowship program. All Fellows attend a month-long training in London at the start of the year and receive ongoing interfaith leadership coaching and support from expert IFYC staff and former Fellows over the course of the year. Fellows will connect to one another as a cohort to share expertise and grow as leaders.

Further details on the Fellowship coming soon. Please send any questions to FAFrecruiting@ifyc.org.
