Founded in 2021, Muslim Project is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in North Brunswick, New Jersey. We work to strengthen the social and civic fabric of Muslim American communities by fostering leadership, inclusion, and meaningful collaboration across lines of difference.
Through community programs, public forums, and educational initiatives, we empower individuals, especially youth and emerging leaders, to engage confidently in civic life and contribute to the common good.
Founded in February 2021, our organization was created out of a shared belief that community wellbeing begins with connection, understanding, and shared responsibility. What started as a small initiative to bring people together for meaningful conversations has grown into a trusted space for collaboration, learning, and civic engagement.
We work to empower individuals and strengthen communities by supporting dialogue, leadership, and public participation. Our approach is simple: bring people together around shared values, listen deeply, and turn ideas into collective action.
Through our programs and partnerships, we focus on practical solutions that improve everyday life; promoting civic awareness, supporting wellness, encouraging youth leadership, and nurturing trust between communities.
