Ongoing Support
In light of the racist riots and ongoing genocides taking place we want to provide the communities we work with guidance. We are currently planning community events in your local area with discussions on both individual and collective responsibility and have 2 spots left – if your mosque/centre would like to host please do get in touch
Speak with Zahra in our fundraising team: if you would be interested in fundraising collaboratively you can get in touch with zahra@hereforyouth.com
We have a training period in the new year in sha Allah, if you feel a Hub could benefit they can head to https://hereforyouth.org/eet
We are happy to support in creating resources you would find useful. Please let us know if there is anything that would be beneficial for your community.
As we are for the community, funded by the community – we are looking to book Jummah and Taraweeh collections at your local masjid – if you are able to provide us with a collection get in touch via fundraising@hereforyouth.com
A Message From Hamza Ahmed – Head Of Youth Work
The work we are doing is vital in creating a strong generation of leaders.
At Here For Youth we are here to support you and work collectively. If you are currently working on any projects or have ideas on projects to counter racist ideologies, support young Muslims, asylum seekers or people of colour we would love to hear about it and support.
Please feel free to book time in or get in touch via support@hereforyouth.com. During this time I would be happy to give some guidance, or see if there is any way we can support you with the implementation of this.
Hamza Ahmed
