What is NextGen Development Program?

The time to develop our next generation of Muslim activists is now! This training retreat caters to young Muslims (HS Seniors 18+, college students, and recent grads) who are passionate about a domestic or international human rights cause.
NextGen program plans to train and mentor 50 young Muslim activists and leaders over a period of one year (2022-2023).
