Face to Face | Faith to Faith strives to meet these goals:
1. To challenge participants to safely engage conflict and explore identity in an ongoing process of building mutual understanding, trust and empathy; and
2. To nurture faith-informed leaders with tools to build a more just and peaceful world 

Face to Face | Faith to Faith participants commit to an exciting year-long international program. Face to Face / Faith to Faith operates in four different regions of the world:


 

 

 

 

 


The program is composed of three phases:
Phase I - Pre-Intensive: five months in the home country. Participants meet in their regions on a regular basis. Activities include dialogue, educational programs, and local service projects.

Phase II - Summer Intensive (early July): participants from the four regions around the world come together in a camp-like setting for two weeks in Holmes, New York.

Phase III - Follow-up: for six months, participants meet regularly in their home regions to integrate their new skills and experiences into their lives back home, and engage in personal and group leadership projects.

Face to Face operates throughout the calendar year:
September - January: Recruiting
February - June: Phase I (pre-intensive)
July: Phase II (summer intensive in New York)
August - February: Phase III (follow-up)
