HYG (Hamzah Youth Group) Mission Statement:

“To help guide and motivate young Muslim boys and girls to be committed to their faith and to proudly embody it in every aspect of their lives.”

The highlights of this program are:

  1) It is lead by "guides and mentors" and not necessarily "instructors and teachers".
  2) It is gradual in its approach with the goal of leading the youth to learn, love, and practice Islam one step at a time.
  3) The Sunday gatherings could be Halaqahs (study circles), outings, volunteer work, sports, seminars, trips … etc.
  4) Some of these functions above may involve (in)direct learning while others may be just pure “Halal” fun.
  5) The topics are prepared and presented by the youth themselves opening the floor for discussions and Q&A.
  6) Youth character development and behavior improvement are the keys versus the amount of information gained.
  7) As mentors notice character and behavior changes in the youth they adjust appropriately to meet HYG’s goals.
  8) Islamic information sources are presented by various means in such a way to be relevant to the youth today.
  9) Appropriate Arabic language curriculum is also included for a more comprehensive Islamic learning experience.
10) HYG will eventually become self sustaining where the youth leaders within it will both lead and run it Insha’ Allah.

Teenaged boys and girls: Please join us for our weekly Hamzah Youth Halaqah (study circle) at Masjid Hamzah on Sundays from 10:30 am to 2 pm. Please also inform your friends. Jazakum Allah Khair.
