The Agápe Project seeks to build bridges of understanding and friendship among teens from different religious backgrounds. Through collaborative acts of community service, we celebrate our faiths’ shared commitment to serving others and illustrate the common values that unite us. Our ambition is that participants in the Agape Project will find connection with peers from different faith traditions and be inspired to carry a message of appreciation and understanding into the broader world.
