About Muslim YouthWork Foundation

What is the Muslim Youthwork Foundation?

The Muslim Youthwork Foundation (MYWF) is an innovative and ground breaking national Muslim Youthwork organisation that places young people at the heart of its purpose and function. The MYWF is unique in its ability to integrate Muslim and non Muslim youth work expertise, working across age, faith, and gender. This is reflected by a Board that brings together a range of experience and expertise.

The MYWF supports and trains young people, building their capacity to enable them to reach their full potential to be of service to their peers, their communities and neighbourhoods. The variety of projects provides space for different forms of expression and belonging to emerge. The MYWF places great emphasis on the neighbourhood as a site of shared belonging, identity and experience and seeks where possible to strengthen this by working with young people of all backgrounds, nurturing relationships across ethnicities and faiths.

Is this foundation for me?

Yes if you work with Muslim young people, either exclusively or in multi-faith contexts. The foundation looks to strengthen neighbourhood ties and relationships. It doesn’t matter if you are Muslim or not, what does matter is that you have a genuine interest in the development of life chances and opportunities.
