YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT
MY NYC Program is an after-school program for Muslim and non-Muslim youth. The year-long program teaches students about leadership, organizing, and helps them identify a community problem to solve, helping them build critical leadership skills and connect with the community, educators, parents, and public officials.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
MCN Serves is a community service program that leverages the good will of Muslim community members looking to give back to the community. We do this through our monthly Soup Kitchen, feeding the homeless, Bellevue NICU Luncheons. providing support to parents in need, and yearly Toy Drives and Pack-a-Thons that delivers food and toys to the needy.
CIVIC EDUCATION
MCN informs and educates the Muslim community on their civic duties as citizens and residents of this country – as well as connecting them to resources and tools that will help make their voices heard in society.

Finally! The city took the right measure by firing NYPD Officer Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner. It took years of activism, community solidarity, and raising our voices to ensure that justice was served. #policereform #EricGarner https://t.co/sgYCHbqokY

Judge Maldonado's recommendation to fire police officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner is a right one that should have been made years ago. Racism and excessive force in the criminal justice system must cease!

Thank you to all the organizations coming out to the inaugural Muslim Stakeholder’s breakfast meeting today! We had over a dozen organizations and came up with a number of strategies on how to address the needs of the Muslim community. Stay tuned for updates and our next convening!
Special thanks to the Governor’s Office for Faith Based outreach and the Mayors Office of the Census for attending!
Finally! We're happy to see that the city took the right and fair measure of firing NYPD Officer Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner.
It took years of activism, community solidarity, and raising our voices to ensure that justice was served.
We are glad that the Garner family can finally see the justice that they deserved. The community came together from all walks, faiths, and ethnicities to unite for justice for the Garner family. We pray that our families and communities may live in peace and in a society that makes all of our lives matter.

It's stories of Fatoumata Camara, Abrar Chowdhury, and Rayhana Alhanafi that motivate us to ensure that our communities have the knowledge and resources to defend themselves from hate and discrimination. Join us this Sunday for a Self-Defense and Know Your Rights workshop in the Bronx to learn all about community protection.
