TRANSFORMING OUR COMMUNITIES 2011
Leadership Conference
With the generosity of community sponsors, CAIR-Greater Los Angeles Area is making a limited number of scholarships available to eligible individuals in Southern California who have demonstrated leadership and activism by serving their local mosques and communities.
Please take a moment to apply here.
Deadline for submitting scholarship applications is April 11, 2011. Scholarships are available based both on need and demonstrated leadership and activism.
The daylong conference is designed to train and empower local leaders as well as strengthen communication and relationship building among local communities. The recent challenges facing our community, such as a rise in anti-Muslim sentiment around the country, opposition to mosques, and bullying against Muslim students, underline the urgent need to provide training to strengthen the leadership skills of mosque, youth, and community activists and leaders.
If you are a community activist, an Imam, a board member of a mosque or an MSA, or a committee volunteer, we strongly encourage you to participate in this opportunity to expand leadership skills and provide tools to enhance civic engagement.
Professional and expert trainers will conduct workshops that cover the following topics:
· Civic Engagement
· Public Speaking
· Social Media
· Media Relations
· Challenging Islamophobia
· Know Your Rights
