The Cleveland chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Cleveland) hosted its first annual Building Muslim Youth Leadership Conference. The conference attracted over 170 attendees from as far away as Toledo, Pittsburgh, Youngtown and Columbus as well as members of the local Cleveland area Muslim community. The Conference, entitled “Fortifying Knowledge & Worship: Building Muslim Youth Leadership,” included lectures and workshops on media, civil rights, government affairs, public relations, Islamophobia, and the history of Islam in America. The overall goal was to encourage young Muslims be proud of their identity and to express themselves effectively in a pluralistic society and to put their faith into action on behalf of social justice and the common good.
