The NewGround Fellowship engages diverse groups of Muslims and Jews in an innovative community-building process. Utilizing a creative and dynamic new approach, NewGround provides participants with structured dialogue, in-depth education sessions with community leaders, skills-building workshops, and collaborative civic engagement projects.

Fellows graduate from the program transformed, with a deeper commitment to positive relations and partnership between their two communities. An emerging alumni program keeps fellows connected, and engages the broader community in the vision of NewGround. For more info, check out newgroundproject.org.
