In the spring of 2012, more than 120 faith leaders representing more than 70,000 congregants from Las Vegas valley houses of worship came together to help change the city through faith in action. These faith leaders and executive team members of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department joined in table discussions, which identified the following as key community issues affecting their congregations.
- Addictions - The initiative works to assist vulnerable populations and connect them to resources to help them break the cycle of addiction
- Education – Promotes academic success and well-being for every student by building relationships between the community, schools and educators
- Homelessness – Working to end homelessness in southern Nevada
- Human trafficking – Reducing the number of people involved in sex trafficking through awareness, education and connecting with the community
- Strengthening the Family - This workgroup focuses on resources and collaborations that positively impact the family unit
