KCIYA is a collaborative program of individuals who want to change the conversation about religion by empowering youth of all backgrounds and faiths to come together to establish pluralistic understanding and respect by serving their communities.
The workshop will be led by two fantastic interfaith leaders who are former staff members of Eboo Patel’s Interfaith Youth Core organization in Chicago:
Hannah Kardon: Hannah received her Master’s in Divinity student from Harvard Divinity School and serves as the pastor at Elston Street United Methodist Church in Chicago. Hannah was previously an Outreach Education & Training Associate at the Interfaith Youth Core, where she designed curricula and worked with institutions such as the University of Illinois, Berea College, Yale University, and the University of Delhi on their inter-religious activities and policies. Her recent honors include selection for the Fellowship at Auschwitz for the Study of Professional Ethics and receiving the Hopkins Shareholder award, given to six Harvard Divinity students showing exceptional ministerial promise. And finally, Hannah was one of the workshop leaders at KCIYA’s previous interfaith youth workshop in 2009.
Hind Makki: Hind Makki is an interfaith educator who develops and delivers trainings on civic integration through interfaith action, anti-racism education and youth empowerment. She travels throughout the United States and Western Europe, working with diverse communities, leading workshops for civic leaders, interfaith activists and university students. An internationally recognized speaker, Hind has been invited to deliver speeches and workshops on interfaith cooperation, civic integration and developing Muslim women’s leadership to conferences, universities, congregations throughout North America and Western Europe. Hind is the founder and curator of Side Entrance, a crowd-sourced website that documents women’s prayer experiences in mosques around the world.
