Initiative 5: Building Civic Leadership Capacity
The Muslim Civic Coalition is a partnership of hundreds of Activists, Influencers and Organizations. Our mission is to collaborate and amplify social and civic efforts towards an equitable and representative America. The Coalition empowers the voices of marginalized and often invisible communities.
Leaders and leadership teams help communities empower their diverse voices and achieve Civic Justice!
How does a team start and sustain a strong organization?
How can each of us be an effective leader of our organizations or of a campaign?
The Muslim Civic Coalition Initiative 5 builds civic leadership capacity through two ways;
a half day workshop and a three month Fellowship.
