I AM CHANGE Workshop- Youth Edition!

WHY should you sign up?

The last Prophet of God (pbuh) said, “God will not change the condition of a people until they change themselves…” Muslims need to contribute to all aspects of human civilization, not obsess exclusively over a handful of causes.

WHAT is the objective of the workshop?

"I AM CHANGE" is about active citizenship. It's about each of us embracing our rights as Muslim Americans to work with decision makers in our local communities, in our state legislatures, and in Congress to shape better policies.

HOW will the workshop help you?

I AM CHANGE- YOUTH EDITION is about fostering young leaders while allowing them to maintain their Muslim Identity. The half-day workshop provides: (1) an insight into the Government process and intelligent advocacy; (2) an understanding on what it means to be a Muslim American youth; and (3) a perspective on youth issues and solutions.
