Valley Interfaith Project (VIP) believes that investments in human development are necessary for a thriving and inclusive economy benefitting all of Arizona’s citizens.
Issues emerge from VIP member institutions, through one-on-one and small-group conversations. The VIP Human Development Agenda is adopted at the VIP Delegates Assembly.
VIP is working on a number of key strategies:
- Economic Development and Workforce Training: Arizona Career Pathways Initiative
- Access to Healthcare and a Robust and Equitable Public Health System
- Community Safety
- Quality Education for Children and Youth
- Immigrant Integration and Necessary Reform
- Justice Reform
- Climate
- Affordable Housing
