Faith and Equity Training Series

About the Training Series:

For the past 3 years, the San Francisco Foundation’s FAITHS Program, in conjunction with educators from the Interfaith Movement for Human Integrity, have trained over 200 faith leaders around the Bay Area to be faith advocates for economic and social justice. This year, we invite faith communities to nominate four leaders (clergy, lay and/or community leaders) to take part in our Faith & Equity East County training series. The trainings seek to increase the capacity and power of faith communities to advocate and organize for stable communities, fair policies and dignity for all. Trainings are FREE, but registration is required.

Goals of the Training:

• To increase the capacity and the power of faith communities to advocate and organize for just and fair economic policies using their distinct faith voices

• To provide faith-oriented trainings that utilize an engaging popular education methodology to tap into the wisdom and knowledge that already exists in the community

• To “increase the bench” of faith leaders and lay leaders directly impacted, to feel empowered, resourced and inspired to improve local policies where they can make a difference.
