A one-year program for Baltimore area teachers to learn about different religions and how to teach about them in their classrooms. Teachers meet with other educators and experts to build confidence in religious literacy. They create lesson plans they can use with their students and think deeply about how to teach these important topics. The program helps teachers become better at helping students understand different faiths and cultures in our diverse world.
Chaplain & Spiritual Care Training Programs
ICJS helps chaplains and spiritual caregivers learn how to support people from different religions and backgrounds. They offer free monthly online groups, book studies, workshops, and training webinars. Chaplains work in hospitals, prisons, schools, and military bases. These programs help them give better spiritual care to everyone, no matter what they believe. The groups meet on Zoom and help chaplains connect with other spiritual caregivers. They also give small grants up to $1,000 to help organizations expand their chaplain services.
