"Creating safe spaces for Muslim young people to explore personal, social, spiritual and political choices"
It is our obligation as educators to see the present with all challenges and opportunitiess. Because the present can be the hardest to see.
we believe that
Young people count
Their present is our future
our cultures make their climates

What is Muslim Youth Work
The Muslim Youth Work Foundation is offering workshops for folk working with young Muslims. These could be youth workers, teachers, imams, clergy, social workers, sports workers, counsellors etc.
The workshop will be led and facilitated by Dr MG Khan, author of Young Muslims Pedagogy and Islam and one of the founders of the Muslim Youthwork Foundation.
The workshop aims to work on exploring how this work is the same as all the other youth work but also what could be or is different and the challenges faced by orgs and workers and young people. Key aspects that should sit in a national strategy for Muslim youth work.
The workshops are free of charge other than the cost of transport to and from the venue for the trainer. If interested, please complete the following expression of interest and we will get back to you asap. Each workshop takes between 2.5 and 3 hours.
