About
Mosaic aims to develop as a network of multiple, Muslim-led initiatives united in a common goal of breaking down barriers across British society. One if its key functions will be to encourage linkages between successful Muslim professionals and disadvantaged young Muslims, in order to raise aspirations and increase access to opportunities for education and employment.
To begin with, this exciting initiative will build a network of Muslim mentors and match them with mentoring opportunities, before extending this further to Muslim community group leaders, young Muslim ex-offenders and disadvantaged groups.
How to get involved
Currently we are working in London, Yorkshire and Humber, North West, East Midlands and West Midlands. As a Mosaic mentor you will have the opportunity to:
- Mentor selected pupils through one-to-ones, group mentoring & e-mentoring in schools and community groups.
- Deliver motivational speeches to pupils and teachers in school assemblies.
- Offer work placements to young Muslims who may not have the social networks to gain such opportunities.
- Invite young people into your organisation on a site visit to gain an insight into the workplace.
- Provide support and guidance to Muslim Community leaders
