About IFFP

The Interfaith Families Project (IFFP) seeks to develop our children, ourselves, and our community through opportunities for education about Christianity and Judaism, holiday celebrations, fellowship, spiritual gatherings, community service, and exploration of interfaith identity in an environment that encourages questions and respects different answers. We are an independent, member-driven community of approximately 100 interfaith families. For over three decades, we have been a pioneer in interfaith education, providing a welcoming “big tent” where Jewish and Christian traditions are celebrated with accuracy, respect, and balance.

Grounded in shared values of compassion, justice, and community, IFFP is a unique space for learning, gathering, and dialogue. We are seeking a Director of Operations who doesn’t just manage our operations, but actively cares about nurturing our community.
