North Lanarkshire Muslim Women & Family Alliance
Youth empowerment
Young people leading, volunteering and speaking for themselves.
Completed & in development
Building leadership early
Our youth work gives young people a safe, positive space and real responsibility — not just something to attend, but something to run.
Youth Empowerment Volunteer Event
Funded by the NL Challenge Fund. Six youth volunteers planned and delivered a craft and iftar event during Ramadan, with more than 35 people taking part.
Micro Fund — Community Empowerment
Funded by North Lanarkshire Council. Established the foundation for our youth engagement work, supporting young people to participate, volunteer and develop leadership skills.
Elect Her
A youth event encouraging young women to see themselves in public life, leadership and decision-making.
Coming next: a group for girls aged 10–15
We found older girls in study or work hard to reach, so we are refocusing on a younger group — building confidence and leadership from an earlier age.
Every week
Children’s classes run three days a week, alongside youth trips and Eid events through the year.
