At Milwaukee Muslim Women's Coalition, our mission is to lead positive community change through advocacy, dialogue, education, and outreach, using faith-based values to ensure dignity and equity for all. Our vision is a world in which women and girls are nurtured and empowered to reach their fullest potential. Social justice, respect, compassion, and understanding are the only acceptable standards for human beings.
We believe:
Our Peaceful Home: Youth Leadership Program
Our Peaceful Home: Youth Leadership Program provides culturally specific programming and education to address healthy relationships and trauma among youth within the Muslim immigrant and refugee communities in Milwaukee. The Youth Leadership Program is geared toward children and teens who have witnessed domestic abuse or whose families have fled war and oppression.
Our staff work closely with skilled volunteers and licensed therapists to facilitate the Youth Leadership Program in a culturally appropriate and linguistically specific manner, paying special attention to the cultural nuances and social constructs of the Muslim community. Research indicates that programming which incorporates cultural sensitivity has a far greater success rate than programming that does not.
Engaging workshops, individual and group counseling, healing circles, and other supportive services emphasize cultural identity, healthy relationships, communication, and working through trauma, anger, and sadness. The Youth Leadership Program also encourages brighter futures through self-esteem, empowerment, and leadership activities. The Youth Leadership Program supports approximately 50 children and youth annually.
