Join the Founding Team

The most meaningful institutions are not built overnight. They are built through vision, patience, relationships, and the dedication of people who believe in the possibility of something greater.

The Islamic Center of New York City is at the beginning of that journey. While our permanent home is being renovated, our work has already begun. We are building more than a building - we are building an institution. An institution rooted in worship, learning, service, belonging, and a commitment to strengthening our communities and the city we call home.

To help bring this vision to life, we are assembling our founding team. These early members of our team will help establish the systems, programs, culture, and public presence that will shape ICNYC for generations. The work done during this formative period will influence not only what the Center becomes, but how it serves its community.
