Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatu Allahi wa Barakatuh,
Dear Community Members,
America is not the same country that you and I grew up in, and the challenges that Young Muslims are facing today go far beyond the challenges that I or you had to face in the past. Due to this new reality, CAIR-Missouri is investing tremendous resources to establish a new leadership model youth organization called, “the Young Game Changers (YGM)” to empower young Muslims to develop leadership skills, engage in fun and social activities, build an Islamic identity, and establish a stronger connection with Allah (Swt).
I would like to inform you that CAIR-Missouri is hosting its first ever “Youth Winter Program”. A 2-week program to engage our young Muslims to become leaders and more active within their communities. We believe that young Muslims are the key to building a brighter future in America. This program offers a wide range of amazing social activities, in-depth leadership workshops, identity building seminars, and spiritual empowerment programs.
While enjoying the outdoor winter breeze through skiing, paintballing, rock climbing, and bonfires, they will also rejuvenate their souls in spiritual circles and reconnect with Allah (SWT). They will work together through team building exercises, develop Islamic Education projects, discuss current events, and national trends. They will grow their leadership skills through public speaking, debating, government relations, and media interaction workshops.
The highlight of their efforts will be hosting the first ever “Young Game Changers” Banquet. An entertainment night, where they will showcase their learned skills and raise funds to establish and grow the Young Game Changers Network.
I believe that now is the time and today is the day that we help to develop Young Muslim Game Changers. I strongly encourage you to visit our website to learn more or register a young Muslim today. We only have 30 spots available so please register early.
Sincerely,
Faizan Syed
Executive Director of CAIR-Missouri
