Our Children

Dear Friend,
As a new parent, I understand the significance of investing in our children. It has become the most important focus of my life. As a community, our future depends on our collective investment to help our children and grandchildren become the next generation of American Muslim leaders and realize their fullest potential. This is what makes me so proud of MPAC’s Leadership Pipeline.
Invest in the next generation of American Muslim leaders.
Over the past decade, we have planted the seeds for a future where American Muslim leaders are a critical component to solving the challenges that we face as a society. Our Congressional Leadership Development Program – CLDP - approaching its 8th cohort, places Muslim youth directly in the halls of power in a fully-funded 10-week Hill internship. Our fellows go on to be full-time staffers, work for policy think tanks, and even successfully achieve elected office.
“Working for the United States government is a viable, noble, and respectable career option for our kids and this fellowship program shows them the way,” says Omair Mirza, former senior advisor to Congressman Andre Carson.
Investing in the future of our community is a core part of our faith. Through CLDP, we invest in future Muslim leaders for the benefit of our community that will be realized far beyond us - in 10, 20, 30, or even 50 years. But none of it is possible without your generous support.
Empower our youth today to build a future free from bigotry.
The CLDP Program is proud to be a no-cost program for fellows, allowing many who would otherwise be unable to afford DC housing and transportation the opportunity to thrive. But this is where we need your help, as our program grows, so do our expenses. Can we count on you to empower the next generation of leaders in public service?
Help us foster pride in government service and further our career pipeline for American Muslims on the Hill, Federal agencies, The White House, and Public Affairs organizations to improve policies that impact our community.
Make your zakat-eligible donation for a future of American Muslim leaders.
