Please Join Us for a Live Webinar with Q&A

Are you burdened with pessimism or hopelessness about the future of our country? Join us to listen to Eboo Patel, the internationally known founder of the Interfaith Youth Core. Patel defiantly claims that he is an American optimist. One place he finds abundant hope? The college campuses he visits each week, where young people of different faiths unite in the works of mercy while striving for reconciliation and justice.

Hope emerges when we least expect it, says Patel. His stories of people who reached across religious lines in dark times offer compelling lessons for moving our nation forward.

Patel, an American Muslim from Chicago, holds a doctorate from Oxford University in the sociology of religion. His Chicago-based Interfaith Youth Core is a movement built on respect for different religious identities; it engages young people in shared action on issues they care about.
