The Avicenna Foundation was established to help the Muslim community through further education to enhance employment and work experience opportunities, whilst acting as a hub for mentoring programmes, coaching and retreats.
Within every community, there are young people that aspire to do great things. However, not every person within these communities has the same advantage. This is where the Avicenna Foundation extends a helping hand.
Our aim is to assist in the advancement of young people who have a dream and ambition not only to create positive outcomes for themselves but also for others within their communities who will then extend and share these positive outcomes with others locally, nationally, and globally to create an inclusive society giving tangible opportunities to thrive.
Avicenna Foundation gives opportunities and supports students so that they will be able to flourish and thrive in a society that recognises, acknowledges and values them.
The Foundation has already had great impact on its current cohort of scholars through the development programme, skills development, and networking opportunities amongst others opportunities.
