We are super excited to bring you the fourth year of Virtual LLSP. Please check back at a later time for updates on when we will begin accepting applications. In the meantime, feel free to explore the website for more information about the program.
Due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic, this year's program is virtual and will allow both Muslim women and Muslim men to participate. The Virtual Law & Leadership Program ("VLLP") will be based on KARAMAH’s Law and Leadership Summer Program ("LLSP") which is only for Muslim Women. VLLP will provide participants with the fundamental understanding and essential skills needed to lead themselves, their peers, and the movements they are passionate about from a gender-equitable perspective
