Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
Soliya empowers young adults with key competencies to constructively engage across differences in order to promote more cohesive societies. We achieve our mission through three key levers: dialogue exchanges, facilitation training, and supporting organizations seeking to create cultures of constructive engagement within their institutions. With this grant funding, we seek to strengthen our US-based programming by equipping a growing community of young adults with key leadership, communication and collaboration skills, and provide adaptable tools and resources to educators and youth-serving organizations to foster constructive engagement across different contexts.
Activities or mission (Part I)
Soliyas current focus is on strengthening relationships and fostering cooperation between youth from Western and predominately Muslim societies.
-
The Connect Program - Soliyas flagship virtual exchange initiative - engages college-aged youth across the United States, Europe, Asia and the Middle East and North Africa from varied socioeconomic backgrounds in online, small-group, facilitated dialogue to establish a deeper understanding for the perspectives of others on critical issues, and strengthen key 21st century skills and attitudes, including cross-cultural communication, critical thinking, leadership, collaboration, digital literacy, empathy, and other global competencies. The Connect Program is offered through 4 distinct modules that vary in length, theme, emphasis and language of programming. All Connect Program modules are offered through partnerships with universities, learning institutions, and community service organizations, and run parallel to academic semesters. Global Circles - Soliyas Global Circles are short, two-week online dialogue opportunities, bringing together young people from various backgrounds and nationalities for a face-to-face exchange around compelling global issues that matter to youth today. Topics vary from one round to another; recent topics include "Global Solidarity - Meaning and Scope", "Artificial Intelligence and Human Ethics and Climate Change and Inequalities." Participants learn from and with each other through discussion-based activities, engaging in both synchronous and asynchronous exchanges. Through facilitated discussions on a timely topic, participants develop greater global awareness while building critical 21st century skills and attitudes such as cross-cultural communication, empathy, and critical thinking aiming to enhance cultural understanding and leadership skills. Young people register directly into Global Circles, an open-enrollment program, and they can apply to join as many rounds as desired.Learning and Development Solutions - Soliyas Learning & Development Solutions offers a range of training and professional development options designed to sharpen key leadership, communication and facilitation skills to promote constructive, respectful, and deep engagement in the online and offline contexts. Trainings are interactive and practice-based to activate and cement learning.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
