NEW Name: Muslim Sisters’ Alliance
NEW Website
Mission: Helping each other move forward
The purpose of the Muslim Community Center (MCC) sister’s alliance is to provide a forum for sisters ages 15 and older in the local community to empower each other in advancing the religious, health, personal and social aspects of our lives. We value the diversity of the sisters in our community and aim to be inclusive to sisters from all walks of life.
Our goals include:
· Promoting the spiritual, intellectual, mental, physical, social, and financial growth of sisters
· Being a resource and advocate in the local (Muslim and non-Muslim) community for women’s issues
· Fostering connections among sisters of our community and engagement with the masjid
Activities
Our activities fall under three broad themes:
- Self-empowerment
- Enhancing knowledge
- Building an inclusive community
