Civic Engagement, Leadership Development, Community Education

Muslim Community Network is dedicated to use civic education and leadership development to shape the public narrative about what it means to be Muslim in the United States of America.

As the Muslim Community Network (MCN), the aim is to accurately shape the public narrative of what it means to be Muslim (#MuslimByMuslims) This is done through diversity education on the faith and community, building partnerships for peace across all faiths, and facilitating the civic leadership of the community.

Founded in 2003, New York Community (NYC) provides the infrastructure for MCN to go to civil-society nonprofit entity which is engaged in interfaith and civic-education work. Such objectives are global, as they aim to help achieve the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 16 to promote just, peaceful, and inclusive societies.

MCN’s vision is to help facilitate the emergence of a Muslim-American identity that transcends generational, ethnic, gender, racial, and class-based boundaries while building bridges with other communities of faith to build peaceful, just, and inclusive communities.   Such achievements are realized through programs and initiatives focusing on Civic Education & Advocacy, Leadership Development, and Diversity Education. They shed light on important issues of faith and community of Muslims through diversity education workshops in schools, agencies, and companies in New York City and around the world.

Workshops inform and equip educators, parents, public officials, and students with the tools and resources to address the needs of the Muslim community, help break stereotypes and discrimination against Muslims, facilitate community building between sects, racial, and ethnic groups, such as through our Sunni – Shia dialogues, increase awareness of Muslims such as through community education workshops on the role of African American Muslims in the history of the United States, and thus foster a better understanding of the unique mosaic that is our society.

These workshops include:

– Understanding Islam and the Muslim American Experience

– Inclusive Learning: Your Muslim American Students

– Muslim Contributions to American History, and more.
