Best of America

The Best of America campaign is part of the Team Up Project, a national partnership of Interfaith America, Catholic Charities USA, Habitat for Humanity International, and YMCA of the USA. Together, we are empowering people to build connections and work across differences for the common good.

The Best of America: Rockford

Rockford Area Habitat for Humanity and the Team Up Project partnered to do something extraordinary: host the city’s first-ever Interfaith Build. People from different faiths, backgrounds, and beliefs came together to build not just a house, but a home—and a stronger community.

The Best of America: Santa Fe

The Team Up Project and Catholic Charities Santa Fe held a summer camp this year to build bridges among Muslim refugee families, Catholic Charities volunteers and staff, and members of the host site from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The five-week camp is a place to learn, share meals and build community across cultures and faiths.

The Best of America stories highlight how everyday leaders are strengthening communities through empathy, collaboration, and human connection, and how The Team Up Project is giving people the tools and resources to make it happen everywhere.
