Leading with Faith, Innovating for Impact
CCDA is pleased to offer the NYU Certificate in Faith, Innovation, and Social Impact to its member organizations. In today’s increasingly complex world, our communities face unprecedented challenges, ranging from climate change and mental health to gun violence and economic disparity. To tackle these issues effectively, we need fresh perspectives, innovative strategies, and the unique strengths of our faith traditions. This Certificate, designed specifically for faith-rooted leaders, explores key concepts in innovation, features problem-based learning and case studies, and engages with systemic and design thinking. Focusing on practical strategies and tools, you will leave the course equipped to drive meaningful change in your organizations and communities.
The course begins November 4, 2025, prior to the National Conference in Grand Rapids, MI, and will continue with six virtual sessions in subsequent weeks.
