Muslim Alliance of Indiana: Appreciation for Advocacy

April 30, 2021 by Marguerite

by Yossra Daiya

Peace be upon you. My name is Yossra Daiya. I am a first-year Psychology and Political Science student at Butler University and an Indiana Realtor. In my first year at Butler University, I had the wonderful opportunity to intern with the Muslim Alliance of Indiana as their Faith and Community Outreach Intern. Through this internship, I’ve felt that I’ve been able to give back to the Muslim Community. Understanding the processes that go on behind the scenes to provide the Muslim Community with events such as safety trainings, film screenings,town hall meetings, and fundraisings has been eye-opening to me. I have a newfound appreciation for the people that take the time out of their day to advocate for the Muslim Community and encourage civic engagement amongst the community. The experience has been very humbling to me and allowed me to make connections and friendships outside of my local Islamic community. In creating a directory to connect the different Islamic communities of Indiana I feel that I was able to be a part of a joining force that will bring Muslims in Indiana together. Thank you to the Muslim Studies Endowment and the Center of Faith and Vocation for making this enlightening experience possible. And a big thank you to everyone at the Muslim Alliance of Indiana for making my time with you special and being a part of my learning experience!
