Valley Interfaith Project (VIP) is a broad based, non-partisan organization committed to building relational power through organizing people for sustainable social and economic improvement. VIP members are institutions: dues-paying member congregations, schools, unions and non-profits.
Our work is accomplished by:
- institution-based leadership development;
- building relationships within and between institutions;
- identifying and researching issues of mutual self-interest;
- disciplined, organized action.
Through this organizing strategy, VIP develops a constituency of leaders to become citizens in the fullest sense: participants in democratic decision-making and agents of the creation of a more just society through the exercise of relational power.
Valley Interfaith Project is affiliated with the Industrial Areas (IAF), the oldest and largest national organizing and leadership development network in the United States and the West / Southwest IAF.
