MY Leaders Summer Camp 2015 is a collaborative project of MY Project USA and the Institute of Youth Development and Excellence. It is specially designed to empower Muslim youth (13 -17) in finding their role and place within their community and society. 

All participants will first learn skills to empower themselves. They will then find a social justice issue that matters to them. They will plan an initiative to address that issue. By the end of the camp, they will be ready to launch their initiatives, inshaAllah. Mentoring options will be available after the camp for youth interested in seeking more guidance through their journey in making their dreams into successful organizations.
