The Youth Programs complement the classroom-based Hedaya School Programs by enabling children to establish and strengthen age and gender appropriate peer networks and friendships across our community.
Higher goals of the Youth Groups are to enable an informal but rigorous process in a fun environment through which children continuously learn and practice the right Akhlaq (Muslim behavior), develop leadership traits and grow in their attachment to the Masjid.
