Each of the Walking Together diversity programs is designed to be
utilized as a community based initiative, bringing together people from many
faiths to create understanding and acceptance. A complete curriculum
has been developed for each program, including a wide variety of experiential
activities which function together to teach the Walking Together message.
Walking Together programs are led by specially trained facilitators,
who come from the local communities sponsoring the programs. These
facilitators are trained and certified by designated Walking Together
Diversity trainers.
Walking Together is an international program of the Jewish
Chautauqua Society (JCS) of the North American Federation of Jewish Brotherhoods
(NFTB), which retains the right to license
all Walking Together sites. This license entitles the site to
receive Walking Together materials.
