Initiated in 2016 in cooperation with the Prince's Charities, the Centre organises the Young Muslim Leadership Programme to encourage greater participation by Muslims in public life. This residential summer school is held at Oxford annually and is attended by young British Muslims — men and women between the ages of 21 and 30, 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 programme consists of workshops, seminars, and visits to prominent national institutions. Guest speakers come from a variety of career backgrounds, including politics, non-governmental organisations, the civil service, business, and academia. There are opportunities for networking and social interaction. The Young Muslim Leadership Programme is a much-valued forum for young British Muslims with strong leadership potential to come together and consider key issues affecting British society.
