This Goes Way Beyond Campus
IFYC was founded on the idea that today’s emerging leaders will be the ones who ultimately make interfaith cooperation the norm by advancing it in their personal, professional, and civic lives. Our Alumni - the people who took part in this movement in college - are the “Core” in Interfaith Youth Core: a nucleus of people with diverse backgrounds and experiences who did the hard work of bridging divides on campus and left with the vision, knowledge, and skills for interfaith leadership that this hyperdiverse century demands.
Whether you’re a new grad or years into your career, IFYC is committed to helping you succeed long-term. Explore the IFYC Alumni Network to learn about exciting opportunities for professional development, leadership growth, and how to connect with a growing network of peers across the country.

The Network
We set a big goal for ourselves at IFYC: to make religious pluralism a social norm within the course of a generation. We believe our alumni are the interfaith leaders who will make it happen. Recognizing that we had a decade’s worth of talented interfaith leaders with the potential to achieve our lofty mission, in 2010 we began a formal Alumni Network program with the goal of ensuring that graduates continue to receive the resources they need to advance interfaith cooperation throughout their lives. Today, over 70% of alumni in our network are applying their interfaith leadership skills in their personal and/or professional lives—and our dedicated alumni relations team is working to support and network this community with valuable resources and mentorship as they continue to utilize their interfaith leadership skills.
Members of the Alumni Network are diverse and multifaceted, made up of individuals who represent a wide cross-section of different religious and non-religious worldviews and are making a big mark across various professional fields, social sectors, and issues. In settings like higher education, healthcare, media, business, non-profits, and government, they are pioneering new and innovative ways to make religious pluralism a part of the agenda. This is how interfaith cooperation becomes a norm, and these are the people who are doing the work to make it happen.
In addition to being plugged into a vibrant national network, IFYC Alumni receive access to a wide range of resources and opportunities designed to support them at every stage of their life and career. IFYC is committed to keeping alumni connected to the interfaith movement at every stage of their journey by providing unique benefits like:
- Job search and career support
- Fellowships, scholarships, and grants
- Professional development funds and paid speaking gigs
- Regular gatherings and meetups around the country
- Continuing education and interfaith leadership training
- Community resources and practical guides for interfaith work
- Real, friendly, in-person connection to IFYC’s dedicated Alumni Relations Team
Anyone who has participated in IFYC programs and projects as an undergraduate is eligible to join the IFYC Alumni Network after graduation. Learn more about what fellow alumni are doing to advance interfaith cooperation and how to join them.
