• Resume-building experience working with people of different backgrounds
• Leadership development
• Free food

Applications are due: by Monday, September 6, 2022 no later than 11:59 PM.

Butler’s CFV Interfaith Council looks to promote interfaith dialogue and inclusion within the Butler and Indianapolis community. This dialogue will occur through extensive conversations as a Council across a diverse set of spiritual, religious, and philosophical backgrounds. The Council will create broader community events to promote religious appreciation.

Members of the Council must be committed to interfaith relationships, value teamwork, and aspire towards leadership on campus. The Council will function as a team and work together to engage the Butler community.
