It comes to no surprise, when speaking about issues surrounding sex, sexuality and sexual health can still be a taboo but the reality on the ground is somewhat very different.

Hear MY Voice has recently moved into new offices in Birmingham. We are offering desk space to a young Muslim aged 16-25 on a 6 month basis (initially) to design and deliver a project or business idea.

Why study Muslim Youth Work?

With more than 50% of the UK’s British Muslim communities aged under 25, the need for professionally trained youth workers who can understand and help respond to the challenges facing Muslim young people increases daily.
