Welcome

The Center for Global Understanding (CFGU) is a non-profit and non-advocacy organization designed to bring people together by building a bridge between different cultures and religions.

We believe that the only way to bring people together is through educating everyone about different cultures, religions and their values.

Our focus is on the following two initiatives:

	Encourage college level students from underrepresented communities to participate in civic engagement and cultivate the next generation of American Leaders.
	Develop a database of Scholars at the American academic institutions with expertise in a particular culture, religion or a country and make it available to public and private organizations. The first database of Islamic scholars developed in partnership with Loyola Marymount University is available online. .................................................................................................................................More
