Faith
Beyond Walls
Challenge
Inspired by Pope John Paul II’s visit
to St. Louis, Interfaith Partnership and the St. Louis Metropolitan
Clergy Coalition decided to collaborate to form an organization that
would match different lay volunteers of various denominations with
one-day volunteer projects in urban areas.
Action
Vector, using the strategic visioning concept,
coordinated and facilitated a series of planning and program development
meetings with the members of the FBW strategic planning committee.
Since the interfaith volunteer program was newly created, the five-year
strategic plan included a program model and organizational structure,
as well as an implementation timetable and budget.
Results
The plan led to the formation of Faith
Beyond Walls, the hiring of a full-time executive director plus
part-time staffers, and eventually the receiving of a $1.2 million
five-year grant from the Danforth Foundation. The organization continues
to coordinate several volunteer projects and partnerships throughout
the St. Louis metropolitan region.
