Curriculum
The Al-Ummah Curriculum is designed and developed with the needs of today’s youth in mind - aiming to support holistic growth and self-reflection. This vision is executed by qualified and committed faculty, subject matter experts, and a cohort of undergraduate students, graduate students, and young professionals who serve as counselors and administrative staff.
Majalis
Majlis sessions are designed to cover a variety of topics that encourage participants to explore their relationship with their faith. These sessions are rooted in the practice of intelligent questioning, and offer a platform to engage with questions of faith and the world in a way that is relevant to participant’s lives. It also allows them a space to think about how their own lives can be of larger human quests for knowledge, love, progress, stewardship of the earth.
Workshops & Skill Building
Workshops and skills-building sessions create a space of learning and growth in a safe environment. Skill-building sessions focus on building the participants' self-awareness, self-control, and interpersonal skills, while workshops are performance-based learning opportunities to build confidence through artistic, creative, and devotional outlets.
Athletics
All participants take part in a variety of athletic activities that promote healthy living. These activities include life sports, such as tennis, yoga and swimming, and team sports such as basketball and volleyball. Participants are exposed to both types of sports and a variety of other physical activities that encourage them to be active and healthy regardless of their abilities or preferences. We provide coaching and guidance to participants of all skill levels.
