CAIR’s sponsored #MYLS2023, with the theme “Sustainable Activism: Cultivating Change for Long-Term Impact,” is set to empower and educate Muslim youth aged 13 to 19 about the power of activism and its enduring impact.
Activism is a formidable tool for positive change, but it comes with its own set of challenges, including burnout, fatigue, and resource limitations. This year’s program has been meticulously designed to equip participants with practical strategies to foster lasting change. Attendees will gain insights into building resilience, overcoming setbacks, and maximizing resources to create a sustainable approach to activism.
In the past, MYLS programs have consistently reached full capacity. To secure your spot, we strongly encourage early registration. Organizations, mosques, and groups interested in co-sponsoring this year’s event may email [email protected] for more information.
