Who We Are
Since 2003, MCN has been redefining and shaping the Muslim experience in the United States through community education, leadership development, and advocacy.
About Muslim Community Network
Mission: Muslim Community Network is dedicated to redefining and shaping the Muslim experience in the United States through community education, leadership development and advocacy.
Since 9/11, Muslims have been in the public eye. However, who we are and the reality of our lived experiences are often at odds with how we're seen.
As the Muslim Community Network we aim to accurately shape the public narrative of what it means to be #MuslimByMuslims. We do this through diversity education on our faith and community, building partnerships for peace across all faiths, and facilitating the civic leadership of our community.
Founded in 2003, our roots are local – we are NYC's go-to civil-society nonprofit engaged in interfaith and civic-education work – and our reach is global, as we aim to help achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goal 16 to promote just, peaceful, and inclusive societies.
Building a Future of Understanding & Respect
Muslim Community Network envisions a future where the Muslim community, rich in its diverse and intersecting identities, stands united in championing peace, justice, and inclusivity.
Our vision extends beyond intra-community harmony to encompass collaborative engagement with a mosaic of other communities, fostering a society where mutual understanding and respect are the norm.
This ambitious vision is anchored in our unwavering commitment to three core pillars:
Community Education
Leadership Development
Advocacy
