Muhammad is building a national network of young people who reflect a work ethic that is professional and entrepreneurial, which is key for eradicating social problems. In 2013, he developed a program with Majid Society Foundation (an operation based foundation) to issue volunteer identity and insurance cards to young Saudis who complete an intensive training on the ethics of volunteerism. The training includes project management, leadership, conflict resolution, and the importance of empathy. In partnership with the Ministry of Labor, undergraduate hours at the university that are spent in professional volunteer activities have been counted as credit toward completing university degrees, since 2014. In 2015, Muhammad developed a plan for participation and evaluation for NGO initiatives to follow in applying for grants to King Khaled, Abdul Latif Jameel and Majid Bin Abdulaziz Charitable Society. In 2016, he has extended his efforts to the private sector where he established an agreement with The Body Shop and Unilever where employees will dedicate part of their working hours in order to commit themselves to community based activities.
In late 2015, the Ministry of Education decreed that schools must incorporate 25 community working hours as a part of their national curriculum. Early the following year, Muhamad developed a curriculum to nurture the development of empathy and professional volunteerism which is now being established in 5 schools in Jeddah. Through teaching training centers, Muhammad is promoting his curriculum in an aim to implement his program in 20 schools next year. In the second half of 2016 Muhammad will launch social enterprise training and incubation workshops in 5 marginalized communities in Jeddah (Karanteena, Ghulail, Bani Malik, Madaen, al-Fahad, University District).
Furthermore, children who graduate from these programs serve as ambassadors to programs in other cities (slums and schools). This broadens the education network in schools and slums in Saudi Arabia. Muhammad is also planning to reach out to urban disadvantaged youth centered in the South with the help of well-to-do trained young Saudis.
Through lobbying the Ministry of Labor and the Ministry of Commerce and investment through discussion panels sponsored by grant making foundations (such as King Khaled Foundation), Muhammad has successfully implemented NGOs’ law that enables the creation of non-governmental organizations for the first time in Saudi Arabia. In partnership with the Ministry of Social Affairs, he is now creating a federation of NGOs as a platform to address social problems. To sustain the movement towards a changing citizen sector, he is currently pushing for The System of Social Enterprises’ law that permits young Saudis to establish their own social enterprises.
