Interfaith Table Leadership Team Application

Position Description

Interfaith Table is seeking three or four Penn State students for the Interfaith Table Leadership Team.

Interfaith Table is a year-long project bringing together students from a variety of religious backgrounds for dinner and conversation once a month through the academic year. These dinners will invite participants to talk about issues and ideas relevant to student life, and create opportunities for students to develop relationships and make meaningful connections across religious groups. Interfaith Table participants will talk together, then blog about the conversations on the Interfaith Table website in order to share their learning with the wider university community.

Interfaith Table at Penn State is an Interfaith Youth Corps-funded project overseen by campus minsters from Wesley Penn State and Lutheran Campus Ministry.

  • Facilitate dinner conversations
  • Maintain blog posts and follow up with participants about blogging
  • Create and maintain Interfaith Table website/blog on PSU Sites
  • Assist with meal details as needed
