We build strong Islamic values, character, and community through programs, mentorship, and activities empowering a confident, connected, faith rooted generation. π This is a program that was originally initiated by a group of parents in an effort to create a medium that would allow our youth to balance their Islamic values while facing the challenges of today's environment. This program had its hu
mble beginnings in the Spring of 2011 in the home of one of the parents, and Alhamdulillah
in November 2011 moved into it's current location at Masjid Al-Huda, where it now benefits many Junior High and High School youth from our community. Youth Leaders of the Program:
