ABOUT US
What is YMAG?
The Young Muslims Advisory Group (YMAG) is a group of 23 young Muslims, aged 17-26, from across England. There is a gender balance of members who have a broad range of backgrounds and experiences, and reflect the ethnic and denominational diversity of Muslim communities in the UK.
The YMAG is a government advisory group that is sponsored by two departments: the Department of Communities and Local Government and the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
The YMAG has been set up to work with government to act as a critical friend to help find solutions to a range of challenges including tackling discrimination; increasing employment levels; preventing extremism and boosting civic participation.
The YMAG launched in October 2008 and will be active until summer 2010.
