Civic-responsibility projects
Assesses the commitment to civic projects that strengthen social cohesion. By championing interfaith and cross-community participation, the organization embodies Taʿāwun (cooperation) for the Maṣlaḥah (public good) and Birr (kindness) toward neighbors. Civic‑responsibility projects are time‑bound initiatives co‑designed or delivered with community partners to address shared local needs (e.g., neighborhood clean‑ups, interfaith dialogues, voter registration/participation information sessions that are strictly non‑party political, factual, and trustee‑approved per CC9, health fairs), with documented outcomes and learning. A 'substantive' interfaith/cross‑community element requires at least two of: (1) joint co-design, (2) shared delivery roles, (3) mixed participant groups with facilitated interaction, (4) shared communications, or (5) shared evaluation.
