"Do you not see how Allah compares a good word to a good tree? Its root is firm and its branches reach the sky. ˹always˺ producing its fruit in every season by the Will of its Lord. This is how Allah sets forth an example for the people, so perhaps they will be mindful. "

Ibrahim: 24-24

About Manara

Guide. Shield. Enlighten

Manara Youth was founded to meet the evolving needs of the Muslim youth in our community. Our goal is to offer meaningful, inclusive programs that every young person can benefit from—regardless of learning style, background, or ability. We strive to create an environment where youth feel a true sense of belonging, where their voices are heard, and where they recognize their place and potential within Islam.

We offer a full 7-day program filled with activities designed to provide guidance with wisdom—shielding youth from the challenges of the world in a safe, engaging, and fun setting. It’s a space to build lasting bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood, enjoy time with friends, play games, learn from our teachers, go on field trips, serve the community, and more.

At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to nurturing their faith, inspiring them to walk in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ).

Our Mission

Cultivate a generation of youth deeply rooted in their faith, embodying its principles through education, mentorship, support, and community engagement. We aim to instill a sense of purpose and responsibility in our youth, guiding them to lead with integrity and compassion.
