Plus much more!

After an incredible year of interfaith programming, as we look to identify goals and next steps for the Kaufman Interfaith Institute, we would love to hear from you, our partners and participants, as to the role we as an institute have served and how best we can support and resource our community into the future.

You'll find the survey here. The more feedback you can provide, the better we can assess our role and impact. We'd love to have your responses by June 1st. 

You are welcome to remain anonymous, but if you would like to provide your contact information for follow-up, there is an optional section at the end of the survey for that purpose.

We are very appreciative of your time and value your feedback immensely!

Registration Ends Soon! A Few Spots Remaining!

This summer, the Kaufman Interfaith institute will host our fourth annual Interfaith Summer Service Day Camp with the theme of “Interfaith and Cross-Cultural Equity.” This week-long learning experience is geared toward middle- and high-school age students, of all religious, spiritual, and secular backgrounds, in the greater Grand Rapids area.

During the week, students are exposed to numerous learning opportunities via sacred site visits, volunteering at local service agencies, and interactive simulations.This year, the Summer Day Camp will foster interfaith cooperation, develop student leadership, and provide tools to build an equitable community. Our exploration of these issues aims  to help students 1.)  better understand the lived experiences of members of our communities; 2.) identify barriers and equip students with leadership tools to overcome them; and 3.) develop strategies for making West Michigan a more welcoming and inclusive place for all.

Registration is $100 per student and includes transportation to and from site visits, lunch, snacks, and a camp t-shirt.
