Programs + Results

What we aim to solve

The Muslim youth, in general, are under pressure from within our community and from the general community. This results in them having a hard time fitting in. Furthermore, there is a huge push against them being recognized as Americans from the general community.
Our program aims to connect our youth, increase their involvement in the community, strengthen their faith, and develop healthy individuals.
