Most of us can agree that adolescence is not the easiest time. What place do youth programs and mentorship have in the rollercoaster journey that is child development? Why are Muslim-specific programs important? What does providing these opportunities for the youth entail? In this episode, Aamina and Lelas speak with 3 leaders of successful Muslim youth programs: Azher Javaid and Hannan Chaudary, who are involved with the Orland Park Prayer Center in Orland Park, Illinois, and Imaani Ali, who is program director of the Muslim Youth Camp hosted by MCC masjid in Chicago, IL.
