Youth Programming
Our youth programs aim to empower the next generation of Muslims with the tools they need to champion roles of leadership. We do this through:
Civic Fellowship
Muslim Youth NYC (MYNYC) is a leadership development program engaging Muslim high-school youth in community organizing, conflict resolution, and public speaking.
Covid-19. Hate Crimes. Figuring out #LifeGoals. Whatever’s on your mind, we can help you do something about it.
Looking for advice on your career and life goals? Need to connect with Muslim professionals?
Bridge Mentorship
