Southern California Young Muslim American Leaders Summit
Empowering Tomorrow's Leaders Today!
On July 28-30, 2010, the Muslim Public Affairs Council will hold its fourth annual Southern California Young Muslim American Leaders Summit in Los Angeles. The event will provide 30 of the region's top young leaders exposure to the inner workings of government, media, civic groups and Hollywood, while simultaneously providing government officials and media organizations the opportunity to learn what's on the minds of young Muslim Americans.
"This summit is designed to enhance the civic identity of the participants, and to redefine the face of young Muslim American leaders among the elected officials, policymakers and opinion-shapers, media and the Hollywood communities," said Zabie Mansoory, MPAC's Young Leaders Program Coordinator. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime experience to enhance leadership skills, share unique perspectives with influential individuals and institutions, and build relationships with like-minded young Muslim Americans in Southern California."

As one participant said about last year's summit:
"The Summit is an opportunity that every young American Muslim should take advantage of. It truly makes you feel American and 'included' within the government. The summit truly gave me a chance to experience our government first hand and strengthen my drive to become a highly influential congresswoman.
-- Amirah Qureshi, UC Berkeley
Selected student leaders, ages 17-25, will have an unprecedented opportunity to interact with a group of their peers who are also interested in enhancing civic and political participation in their local communities. Both in meetings with officials and during informal discussions, they will identify barriers and opportunities within their communities and develop strategies for enhancing involvement in public service as an expression of the values they hold as Muslims.
