Our purpose is to unite the Muslim youth in Edmonton by spreading positivity and generosity, all while appreciating our diversity and our Islamic heritage for the sake of Allah.
We aim to build a connection between the youth and the Masajid. Our primary activities develop qualities, teamwork and well-balanced individuals.
