In cooperation with the Prince’s Charities, and with the support of the Amanah Foundation, the Centre organises each year the Young Muslim Leadership Programme to encourage greater participation by Muslims in public life. This two-week residential summer school is held at Oxford and is attended by young British Muslims, men and women between the ages of 20 and 29, who have demonstrated leadership potential in their chosen career-paths. They are drawn from a variety of backgrounds and interests, including national and local government, academia, the legal profession, media, and the voluntary sector.

The course consists of workshops, seminars and institutional visits. Presentations are made by Members of Parliament, senior civil servants and academics, as well as representatives of the media and community organizations. In evaluating their experience, participants welcomed the opportunities to discuss the challenges facing Muslims in relation to education, employment, housing and foreign policy.
