The Halton Muslim Youth Association is a non-profit community organization serving the residents of Oakville, Milton, Halton Hills and Burlington. We are dedicated to promoting leadership and character development in Muslim youth through excellence in sports, crafts, science, baking, martial arts and other popular activities. Though our focus is on Muslim youth, our environment is a positive and wholesome one that welcomes all and looks to collaborate and build bridges with all communities that share a similar focus.
We are a group of Halton parents that wanted to create regular weekly gatherings for youth in a positive and motivating environment that exudes the beauty and essence of Islam. The goal is for youth to meet each other weekly and develop lifelong friendships and bonds as well as characteristics such as leadership, confidence and discipline. Formal religious sessions and religious instruction are not the primary focus of our activities, but our faith and beliefs inform everything we do. For example, we will always pause activities to perform the 5 daily prayers, and we weave in Islamic character development throughout all activities. Modesty and respectful behaviour are promoted.
Our activities are currently based around Oakville, Ontario. Our choice of partner facilities is based on facilities that we can secure on a mid to long-term basis, in order for us to establish a weekly rhythm of youth being able to meet and develop the important friendships and skills listed above.
