About

DEVELOPING LEADERS, STRENGTHENING COMMUNITIES Valley Interfaith prepares people to build relational power. Building on our faith traditions and scripture study, training is conducted at the institutional level (congregation, union or nonprofit) with a core group of people -- including clergy, staff and members -- and expands to state, regional and national training for new and veteran leaders.  As leaders at institutions talk to each other about their interests and stories, develop an agenda of issues, and take action together, communities are strengthened and ordinary people transform into extraordinary leaders.  So far this year, through small group conversations and listening sessions, people have expressed concerns about immigration, food assistance, healthcare, DREAMers, and flooding.  We are asking leaders and congregations to learn about these issues and organize together for practical solutions.
