Interviews from Teen Leadership Council

The Teen Interfaith Leadership Council traveled to New Mexico in July to visit religious communities, engage in dialogue and community service, and to make new friends. Accompanied by SiVIC Board Members Deacon Steve Herrera and Diane Fisher, the students learned more about the religious diversity of the US, and learned skills for sharing their religious traditions with one another.

Silicon Valley Teen Interfaith CouncilIn partnership with Shinnyo-en Foundation, the Teen Interfaith Council of Santa Clara County hosts 10 service-oriented high school students on a New Mexico Interfaith Immersion Trip. In addition to youth from diverse religious traditions, such as Christianity, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Hinduism and Islam, five Shinnyo-en Buddhist teens will also join the trip. With adult guidance and supervision in New Mexico’s Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Taos regions, you and your new friends will have the chance to engage in interfaith dialogue, community service, organic farm work, and various cultural experiences. After the immersion trip, you will continue to engage in meaningful service, dialogue and social justice actions that address issues of poverty, social inequity and promote the common good in Santa Clara County.
