ING Programs

ING offers Inclusion and Belonging training designed to complement your organization’s long-term Inclusive Leadership programs. Tailored for a wide range of professional groups—including K-12 and higher education educators, corporate staff, law enforcement, healthcare providers, dentists, government employees, court administrators, and non-profits—these trainings address unconscious bias, institutional inequities, and cultural competency. Each session provides actionable strategies to counter bias and foster inclusive environments where everyone feels a sense of belonging.

ING provides educational presentations and panels that supplement content standards or curriculum for schools, grades 7-12, universities, as well as adult learning for community-based organizations such as churches, synagogues, other houses of worship, and civic organizations such as rotary clubs. Our main topics, with dozens of subtopics, address Muslims, their faith and perspectives; Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, and Hindus and their religious perspectives; and countering Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, anti-Black racism, and other forms of bigotry.

Our resources include lesson plans on topics such as Muslim Americans, the history of Muslims in America, their contributions to civilization, and Muslim women beyond stereotypes. Additional materials address interfaith groups, systemic inequities, Islamophobia, anti-bullying, the impact of 9/11, and the history of African American Muslims. Educators can also access webinars and other tools to promote understanding and inclusivity in their classrooms.

Our resources include digital presentations on topics such as Muslim Americans, Ramadan, and fasting, along with answers to over 200 frequently asked questions about Muslims and Islam, including Shariah. Additional offerings include a calendar of significant Islamic dates and a recommended reading list for further learning.

Our interfaith resources include two unique programs designed to foster understanding and connection among diverse communities. The Know Your Neighbor program brings together people of different faiths to share their beliefs, traditions, and experiences in an open, respectful setting, building bridges of understanding and celebrating shared values. The Halaq Seder combines elements of Islamic and Jewish traditions, creating a meaningful space for participants to engage in shared rituals, storytelling, and discussions that highlight commonalities while respecting each faith’s distinct practices. These programs promote unity and mutual respect among religious communities.
