What is MLP

The Muslim Leadership Program (MLP) is a mentoring program to support young Muslim men and women in their leadership to bring about positive change and enhance integration with the wider Australian society while being grounded in the Islamic framework. Mentees will learn about the Prophetic Leadership model, the art of media engagement and communication and the skills to build resilience and experience in the corporate world. It aims to provide networking opportunities for young Muslims, and their mentors, with community leaders, industry, and not-for-profit professionals.

The Program serves as a platform for participants to share their stories and experiences, and as a pipeline for young Muslims to enter the media industry, or similar advocacy roles. Importantly, the project provides a multi-generational sisterhood and brotherhood that empowers Muslims to combat Islamophobia and build upon the achievements of one another.

History

In 2020, the first MLP was rolled out for aspiring young women and proved fruitful with 11 strong graduates. In 2021, it was expanded to include 19 young men and women from different backgrounds and communities. It has given birth to many projects in the last three years, including news articles, podcasts, media iftar, humanitarian projects, and more. In its fourth year, we believe MLP will continue fostering Muslim youth to create change in the community to combat the stereotypes and misinterpretations of Muslims in Australian society.
