ING Celebrates 16 Years of Community Service

ING CELEBRATES OVER 16 YEARS OF COMMUNITY SERVICE

During the past 20 years, we have seen an increased awareness about Islam and Muslims living in the United States. From the Gulf War in 1991 to the tragic events of September 11th and subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the image of Islam and Muslims, which is often associated with these events by the media, is often not representative of the true nature of Islam or its practitioners. In order to provide a more balanced perspective, ING has spent over 16 years providing onsite educational presentations and online resources about Islam and Muslims. Our goal is to eliminate stereotypes, dispel myths, and increase religious literacy while fostering mutual respect among people of all faiths and none.

ING Accomplishments

Since 1993, ING?s educational outreach efforts have had a positive impact and influence. Our accomplishments are evidenced locally in the San Francisco Bay Area, home to one of the largest Muslim communities in the nation, and nationally, as our successful Islamic Speaker Bureau program is modeled by over a dozen affiliates throughout the country.

To learn more about the work of ING, please review a timeline of our major events and achievements over the past 16 years. You will find statistics on classroom presentations in schools, colleges and universities, as well as training workshops at law enforcement agencies, corporations, health care facilities, civic centers, faith-based groups and other organizations.
