Just for Youth
Young people are the face of the future. They bring energy, openness and a fresh perspective to this adventure of bringing God's vision to life.
We are all born with open hearts, We learn to close ourselves off when we are hurt or when we are told there is something wrong with us or with the other. Youth outreach allows us to help our beloved children keep their hearts open - and inspires us to open wider in response. |

Interfaith Youth Core
This movement has been rapidly picking up steam since its inception just 15 years ago. Founded and inspired by Eboo Patel, this organization is wise beyond its years. We oldsters can sneak a peek and learn a lot too. Check them out here.
Bringing the Message Home
Many small towns and rural areas have limited resources for educating residents about Islam and Muslims. Many cities don't have enough interfaith advocates to go around.
We have a dream of a network of college students who learn about Islam, build new relationships and then bring the message home to their communities. We envision a four-session series to be held on campuses, aimed at the basics of Islamic teaching and history, Muslim issues in the U.S., and strategies for standing up to intolerance. We would then invite students to do a one or two-session introduction in their home churches or other community settings. We know that with a small committed group we can move mountains. If you'd like to join us, please sign up here. We won't share your info with anyone else, and you can bow out at any time. Current Campus Initiatives
These are just a few of the current initiatives on campuses:
