About the Program:

Purpose: Nurture the proud Muslim-American journey of our future leaders

At ICK-YA, our primary goal is to provide a supportive and enriching environment for young Muslims between ages 13 and 18 years. This program is built on the idea that we need to invest in our youth to provide a brighter future of morally upright and culturally-aware Muslims. It aims to help our youth forge meaningful friendships, grow as like-minded individuals who want more for themselves, and most importantly, pursue the pleasure of Allah in this life and the next. In this program students gain essential life skills, foster spiritual growth, and get empowered to become confident, responsible, and engaged Muslims.

Program Highlights:

• Comprehensive Curriculum:
  • Our carefully designed curriculum integrates various Islamic modules and contemporary topics
• Engaging Activities:
  • We will offer a range of interactive activities, workshops, and discussion to captivate and inspire the students. These activities will be both educational and enjoyable, ensuring an enriching experience for all involved
• Mentoring and Support:
  • We believe in the power of positive role models. Trained mentors and Team Leaders will provide guidance, support, and encouragement to the students, fostering personal connections and facilitating their spiritual and personal growth
• Collaboration and Partnerships:
