Our current ongoing programs include:

Past Programs have Included:

• A combined weekly iftar for youth from Kenilworth, Lincoln Heights, Benning Terrace, and Congress Heights, four of the most challenging neighborhoods in DC. Through this initiative, we established a temporary non-territorial zone to break down the barriers of separation and division that breed violence in the city. 
• Coordinating the participation of youth from across different DC neighborhoods in various field trips, including the annual Muslim Family Day at Six Flags and IMAN’s “Takin’ It to the Streets” urban arts festival in Chicago. 
• A daily after-school program with tutoring for homework, team-building exercises, dinner, physical training, and Islamic studies. Nearly 25 youth participated, ranging from ages 7 to 15. 
• Collaboration with several organizational partners for DC’s Grocery Walk to advocate for fresh, healthy, affordable food in Wards 7 and 8, where there are only 3 full-service grocery stores for over 148,000 people combined. This makes it difficult for many residents—especially the 47% who have no access to a personal vehicle and the 17% who have a disability—to get fresh, healthy food. 
• A Muslim youth conference that brought together youth from different parts of the District for a weekend of building faith, self-esteem, confidence, leadership skills, and teamwork.
