Reflections from NewGround alumni

"NewGround provides thought provoking dialogue and a desire to come back for more."

"I have gained an appreciation of the extent to which people of a different faith are willing to learn about my faith."

NewGround, a joint partnership of MPAC and the Progressive Jewish Alliance, is an innovative long-term program geared towards building meaningful relationships and fostering a strong sense of civic engagement amongst diverse groups of Muslims and Jews. The program engages participants in a multi-stage process of education, reflection, skills-building, and community organizing.
