MINARA: Muslim Mentorship in Action

Fostering connections between the broader community and Stanford students for individual growth and collective empowerment.

With support from the broader Stanford community, the Markaz Resource Center has launched MINARA, a new professional mentorship program. The program features one-on-one mentorship matches, industry night panels, and intimate mixers. This 8-month program is innovative and dynamic, reflecting the strengths of our alums and student community.

What participants can expect: 

• Easy-to-use platform: Connect with program organizers and participants through the Stanford Alumni Mentoring database or “SAM”
• Data-driven mentor/mentee matching: Based on your interest and expertise, you’ll be matched with a mentor/mentee. All participants will receive virtual training materials and support from our staff.
• Speaking Opportunities: Participate in a panel discussion on your industry or host a small dinner discussion about your career trajectory and your identity and/or faith in the workplace.
• Networking Events: Interact with a robust network of Muslim professionals and pre-professionals at in-person mixers.
