US/UK Young Muslim Exchange Programme

The U.S. Embassy will be running an exchange program for young Muslim community members and leaders, this January.

Muslim communities in the UK have been confronting serious challenges, from radicalization of young people to alienation and lack of employment opportunities to Islamophobia.

In order to promote positive change within their communities, community leaders must be empowered and given opportunities to enhance their leadership abilities.

This project promotes young Muslim leaders and offers them the opportunity to travel to different regions of the U.S. to learn and share with their NGO counterparts about grassroots political participation and American Muslim and other minority communities’ circumstances.
