Building communities of ethically-driven American Muslims in public service
Building communities of ethically-driven American Muslims working in public service through education, connection and inspiration.
Anchoring American Muslim public servants to Islamically-inspired values.
We believe that community engagement not only fuels social movements, but also forges strength of character in each person who participates in them.
We believe that human diversity is a blessing and a strength, as we are reminded in the Quranic verses that we have been made into nations and tribes so that we may know each other.
We believe that it is an Islamic responsibility for Muslims to serve the public good.
The MPSN Summer Fellowship is a one-of-a-kind experience that brings together talented young Muslims for two months in Washington, DC
MPSN provides room and board and an inspirational two-month program for Muslims who are working in a summer public service job in the Washington, DC, area. For two months every summer, between ten and twenty Fellows live cooperatively as one group, sharing rooms, cooking duties, and everything else housemates do together.
With DC as the backdrop, there are endless places to explore together — from monuments and museums to lectures and coffee shops. The MPSN fellowship provides free of charge living space in the shared MPSN residence and all meals for the months of June and July.
The program is built on three pillars: (1) a specialized curriculum on Islam and public service, (2) cooperative living, and (3) career mentoring from our extensive alumni network. Together, these components create an experience unlike any other available to young Muslims seeking to serve the public good (maslaha 'amma).
June 1 – July 31, 2026. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis from November 2025 through March 31, 2026.
