Current company

Muslim Community Network

Civic and Social Organizations · 30 employees · Founded 2008 · New York, New York, United States

Muslim Community Network is dedicated to using civic education and leadership development to expand and shape what it means to Muslim in the United States of America. MCN’s strategies include creating strong relationships with other faith-based communities; articulating and advancing an understanding of the need for citizen engagement; developing the skills and ability of our community to affect change, and building the next generation’s identity and capacity as leaders. Our program areas: Leadership Development, Civic Education, Cross-Cultural Education. VALUES & OPERATING PRINCIPLES Social Justice Framework– We use a social justice framework to encourage engagement in addressing the root causes of inequality. Inclusion, Unity, and Diversity– We work with all of New York’s diverse Muslim and non-Muslim communities. We value diverse leadership and voices. We seek to facilitate the emergence of a Muslim identity that transcends generational, ethnic, gender, racial and class-based boundaries. Mutual Consultation– We believe in mutual consultation as a decision making process which works to build consensus and cooperation among diverse opinions, identities and experiences. Self Determination— We create spaces for all New Yorkers to engage one another and take an active role in their society. Rather than attempt to represent all Muslims or New Yorkers, we prefer to bring people to the table to represent themselves. Empowerment– We facilitate individual and community empowerment by providing spaces for reflection and consciousness-raising within the Muslim community, which develops the confidence and self-reliance necessary for the realization of power. Partnership– We value partnership as a means of effectively expanding the ways in which we can serve multiple communities. Creating Connections– We do not seek to reinvent the wheel, but rather to connect those with experience and expertise to audiences that can benefit from their teachings.
