This conference will take place in the Spring of 2022 and will include community building, introspective break-out sessions, and notable guest speakers. Emerald Project’s 1st Annual Muslim Youth Conference’s goal is to connect young Muslims from all over the valley, offering a space to explore the Muslim identity, together. In an effort to shed light on Islamophobia and explore the separation between culture and politics from Islam. There will be workshops on civic engagement, navigation of identity, and an opportunity to connect with leaders, elected officials, and those of different careers. We can’t wait to see you there! If you’re a young Muslim in High School or College please apply below! Be aware that spaces are limited. The Emerald Project is a non-partisan, non-profit organization dedicated to combatting the misrepresentation of Islam. The Emerald Project believes that the misrepresentation of Islam has diverse and far reaching consequences. Among them: Islamophobia, misguided foreign policy, and the incorrect practice of Islam within Muslim communities. Our organization is unique, we fight misrepresentation simultaneously within the Muslim and non-Muslim community. Our diverse team is made up of young first and second generation Americans. We all speak two languages, we all share two cultures and are deeply proud of our mixed identities. We are cultural brokers bridging the gap of misunderstanding by separating what is culture from Islam, and what is political from Islam. We do this one conversation at a time. #LetsTalkAboutIt
