Araful Mahi’s Biography

Mahi is a senior at Fordham University, majoring in Economics with a minor in Arabic, whose academic journey reflects a deep passion for social justice, cultural understanding, and community empowerment—values that align strongly with the mission of the Muslim Community Network (MCN). A formative month-long trip to Morocco, where he worked closely with underserved communities and supported individuals facing poverty, profoundly shaped his commitment to uplifting those who are often overlooked and revealed the transformative power of grassroots support. At MCN, he hopes to contribute his background, education, and drive to advance the organization’s mission through outreach, advocacy, and direct service, with the goal of building stronger, more connected communities and making a tangible difference in people’s lives. Outside of academics and service, he is passionate about health and wellness, enjoying soccer, regular workouts, and finding ways to stay active both physically and mentally.
