Connecting Faith and Social Justice

Our Mission, Vision & Focus

Listening to Prophetic Voices that Inspire Us

The Awakening Project is a youth-led initiative that bridges interfaith dialogue and social justice activism. The goal of the project is to encourage a community of individuals who are aware of how we are all interconnected with each other and with the earth, and how our faiths motivate us to have compassion for the most vulnerable.
