Our Mission

IYA comes together to promote respect, understanding and appreciation for the integrity of each other’s beliefs, cultures, and traditions, through interfaith dialogue, education, and activities.

About IYA

The Interfaith Youth Alliance was established as an outgrowth of the successful Interfaith Youth Forum. It was evident from enthusiastic forum discussions that young people are seeking bonds with youth who represent faith and cultural traditions unlike their own. Composed of interfaith youth leaders from throughout Southern California, college and high school Students come together to gain the skills to not only plan a variety of activities that encourage interfaith understanding, respect and civility, but they also gain opportunities to share in best practices from each other their faith traditions.

WHAT WE DO

Formally known as New Vision Partners, The Interfaith Youth Alliance is now its own established 501(c)3.
