Shape the next generation of Muslim leaders

ATA has always been driven by the people behind it. For over a decade, our mentors, volunteers and committee members have given their time, skills and experience to support young people in reaching their academic potential while remaining rooted in their faith and values. Whether you can offer your expertise, your time or your enthusiasm, there are many ways to contribute to our growing community.

Why join ATA?

For over a decade, ATA has recognised and supported high-achieving students through awards, mentoring, workshops and leadership opportunities. As ATA continues to grow, we're looking for people who want to be part of that journey.

We're also building regional teams across London, the Midlands and the North to strengthen our local presence, develop new partnerships and ensure more students across the UK can benefit from ATA's programmes.

The Holy Qur'an

58:11

Seeking and sharing knowledge is central to our faith and is one of the greatest blessings we can share. Throughout Islamic history, knowledge has been passed from teacher to student, mentor to learner, generation after generation. All of us have benefited from the guidance and generosity of those who came before us. Every role at ATA is an opportunity to invest in the next generation and strengthen our community.

Ways to get involved

Support GCSE and A Level students by sharing your experiences, offering guidance and encouraging them throughout their academic and personal journey.

As a mentor, you'll be matched with one or more students for the academic year. ATA will organise three structured mentoring sessions, while regular contact can take place flexibly between you and your mentee(s), allowing you to build a meaningful and supportive relationship.
