Is the image of Muslims we see in the media the true face of Islam? What is it like to be a Muslim in the United States today?			Elderhostel’s volunteer speakers bureau, the Ambassador Program,  offers informational presentations by avid Elderhostelers about our organization. Local Elderhostel Alumni Groups bring Elderhostelers together in their communities to share Elderhostel experiences and promote lifelong learning opportunities. The Elderhostel Institute Network is a voluntary association of more than 300 Lifelong Learning Institutes across North America.

We address these questions and many more in a series of programs titled “Building Bridges to Islam.” Working in collaboration with leading universities, mosques, Islamic cultural centers and other organizations, Elderhostel is offering “Building Bridges to Islam” programs in cities across the United States.
