The fifteenth Young Muslim Leadership Programme (YMLP) will be held this year between Saturday 25 September and Sunday 3 October 2021.
More details about the YMLP can be found in the YMLP 2021 informational leaflet.
Please note that to be eligible for YMLP you must be a British citizen between the ages of 21 and 31 at the time the programme commences.
(The normal age limit is 21-30 but this has exceptionally been extended for this year only due to the cancellation of the 2020 YMLP because of the pandemic)
