Established in 2012, the BHF is a unique not-for-profit organisation that aims to develop young leaders within the Muslim community. The BHF’s strategic pillars focus on engagement, education, employment, and talent – all being underpinned by twelve cutting-edge programs delivered annually across Australia. Our vision is to provide young people with opportunities to be ‘the best versions of themselves’ which is supported through a national program’s framework developed by experienced staff and leaders.
The BHF launched its inaugural Academy program in 2012, reaching 50 participants with the intention of providing young Muslims with opportunities to participate in organised sport. Now, over ten years later, its programs have reached more than 40,000 participants across Australia.
Our programs are strongly supported by our education framework which encompasses the four pillars of mental peak performance, leadership, identity, and physical development; all of which have helped shape our participants into better individuals and community leaders.
The Foundation is proud of how our programs have flourished and positively impacted the lives of many young people. We’re passionate about the impactful work, and together with the support of our partners, we are ensuring that the next generation of young Muslims can reach their full potential.
