A not-for-profit initiative, Dare to Inspire (DTI), will on February 28, 2026, host the 10th edition of its annual mentoring session, marking a decade of empowering young Muslim women and youth across the globe.

The milestone event, themed “Renewed Hope: Rooted in Faith,” will hold virtually via Zoom webinar and is open to participants worldwide at no cost.

The organisers said the 2026 edition comes at a time of global uncertainty, economic pressures and shifting social realities, noting that the session is designed to rekindle hope by anchoring purpose in faith, resilience and intentional living.

“We are deeply grateful for the journey of Dare to Inspire over the past decade. Reaching the 10th edition is humbling, significant and a sacred pause to reflect, reset and re-anchor our lives in faith and hope while courageously facing today’s realities. I warmly invite young women and youth across the globe to join us for this milestone edition,” she said.
