As part of its participation in the President’s Interfaith and Community Service Campus Challenge, Georgetown University led workshop sessions from September 20 to 23 at Georgetown and Gallaudet University centered around community service with an interfaith engagement component. Attendees had the opportunity to learn from experts, share experiences, and hear from administration officials. Georgetown University was named the Interfaith Community Service winner for the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll in recognition of its commitment to and achievement in community service.

How does adding an interfaith component expand the work and rewards of single-faith community service? What role does the government play in facilitating interfaith community service and other interfaith dialogues? What role does interfaith community service play in social justice as a whole?
