The Emerging Leaders Network inspires, equips, and connects interfaith leaders to build on our nation’s key strength of religious diversity. We inspire by sharing stories of emerging leaders creating change in their communities. We equip our leaders to make an impact with grants and learning resources. Finally, we connect them with each other through convenings and fellowships.

For over a decade, we have brought together and supported young professionals dedicated to building on America’s foundational strength of religious diversity. The Network is composed of over 2,000 diverse, multifaceted, innovative, and motivated individuals, who influence how healthcare, business, non-profits, religious communities, government, and other sectors engage with religious diversity. Check out our new website for more information.
