About the event
What: Nationally-recognized leadership program, bringing youth together from across different faith and spiritual traditions. Teens engage with peers in their community, explore their values and moral imagination in the world, and participate in activities and conversations that stretch them to grow as leaders with empathy, curiosity for difference, and skills for allyship and solidarity.
Walking the Walk participants will:
- Learn about the religious and cultural diversity of their peers through visits to different houses of worship
- Strengthen their own identity and leadership skills by participating in different activities together
- Build friendships across lines of difference.
Who: Middle school students of any faith or spiritual background
When: 1-2 Sunday afternoons per month from February through May
Where: Houses of worship and congregations near you!
In addition, high schoolers from our Walking the Walk training program will co-facilitate some of the sessions for the middle schoolers as group leaders and mentors, giving the high schoolers the opportunity to put into practice all that they gained during their Fall 2021 leadership training.
