CAIR-Philadelphia’s Education and Outreach programs empower community members to fully embrace their civil liberties. Our workshops aim to educate the broader community about Islam and Muslims and seek to foster mutual trust and cooperation.
Our education programs focus on:
- Educational institutions across Pennsylvania and Delaware follow an equitable curriculum and can provide positive learning environments for Muslim students.
- Muslim communities can access educational workshops customized around Civil Rights, American Muslim History, youth development, mental well-being, and other key themes.
- Non-Muslim communities and institutions can access relevant information on Islam, Muslims and their concerns around inclusion and equity.
