Muslim Speakers Network

Through the Network, Muslim speakers supplement curriculum and cultural diversity programming in middle and high schools throughout Southern California. This program has provided an invaluable service to educational institutions by supplementing the study of Islam and world religions in social sciences and history course curriculum.
