Elevate.

Youth identity, skills and tarbiyyah.

Where young people build identity, practical skills and character. Elevate is the intake of the whole system: the young people here become the mentors, professionals and leaders of tomorrow, so what happens at 18 matters as much as what happens at 8.

The intake. Where identity, skills and tarbiyyah are built, and where the community's next mentors and leaders come from.

Three actions

  • Motivate.

    Engage youth through sports, recreation and martial arts.

  • Orientate.

    Provide career, academic and spiritual direction.

  • Demonstrate.

    Build leadership skills through active community projects.

What it looks like

  • Youth clubs and recreation leagues
  • Sports and martial arts
  • Mentoring
  • Leadership projects
  • Qur'an circles
  • University and career guidance

How it hands on

At 18, young people move into Consolidate as mentors and volunteers. A written pathway, and a named person who owns that moment, keeps them from drifting away.

Watch for

Young people drop off when sessions are passive. Pair a real skill (martial arts, coding, public speaking) with a short tarbiyyah segment.
