Young Concordia Leaders

A groundbreaking annual fellowship designed for young Muslim leaders, 22-28. Our inaugural cohort launches in summer 2023; the YCL program will include in-person programming, master classes, and dedicated one-on-one mentoring with senior leaders from relevant fields. Upon completion, Young Concordians will join The Concordia Forum.

Applications for our 2024-2025 cohort, limited to 18 changemakers, opens in the Summer of 2024. The inaugural cohort were announced in August 2023, and will attend the Concordia Forum in Spain as well as their own leadership retreat. The Fellowship consists of mentoring, master classes, workshops, and unique programs over six months.

We are seeking highly motivated, ambitious, principled young Muslims, aged 22-28, with a track record of exceptional leadership in their given field. We aim to create a cohort that reflects the diversity of Muslim experiences and realities, with a focus on Western countries where Muslims are a minority.
