Changemakers strengthens bond with community through Muslim leaders programme

Changemakers is working in partnership with the Muslim Council of Britain and Muslimaat to deliver a Future Leaders programme, funded by Communities and Local Government, to empower young Muslim women and men by working with them to deliver community action projects.

Changemakers will be recruiting Muslim Young Advocates to develop projects designed to make a positive impact in their community. These young people will then recruit their peers to design and deliver a community action project. Young Advocates will be paid for ten days work over six months.

Adam Nichols, CEO of Changemakers, commented: “This is a profoundly important project as strengthening the role of young Muslim people within the wider community, whilst maintaining their belief and understanding of their own faith and culture, is crucial to an integrated and peaceful multi-faith society.”
