Faith-Leaders in Action Alongside Those in Need

Mission and Goals

The mission of the Jeremiah Leadership Council is to "seek the welfare" of the City of New York by equipping faith leaders to more effectively and forthrightly respond to the critical needs of its citizens through advocacy, organizing and social service provision.

We envision fulfilling this mission by focusing on three areas: policy and advocacy, education and stewardship.

Goals:

1. Gathering representatives of the faith community who are united in their commitment to stand along side New Yorkers in need.
   
2. Promoting just policies by providing forums for discussion and trainings in how to bear effective public witness that lead to the taking of appropriate actions.
   
3. Supplying the faith community with opportunities for education and constructive programming through conferences, forums, and seminars related to areas of social well being.
   
4. Strengthening the human service provision of the faith community by creating an environment in which resources and knowledge can be more readily shared.
