Celebrating Muslim youth work across the UK.
Organised by Here For Youth
Where futures begin
Muslim youth work is a growing part of the UK’s youth-work landscape. Across Here For Youth’s 120 hubs, from Glasgow to Crawley, trusted youth workers create local spaces where teenagers can belong, explore their identities, build confidence and take on new opportunities. Together, these hubs reach close to 10,000 young people each week.
Taking place during Youth Work Week 2026, the Muslim Youth Engagement Awards make this contribution visible. They recognise the people and organisations behind the work, share stories of its impact and celebrate young people as they grow from participants into volunteers, youth leaders and community builders.
