IIOC Young exists to help youth grow into balanced, disciplined, and God-conscious individuals who serve their communities with sincerity and purpose. We believe every young person is unique, so our approach blends Islamic knowledge with sports, camps, workshops, and community activities to support spiritual, mental, and physical growth.

Our vision is to build a generation that is confident in their faith, connected to community, and rooted in the Sunnah. Guided by sincerity, strong character, wellness, service-driven leadership, and a lifelong pursuit of knowledge, we strive to create spaces where youth feel supported, inspired, and connected.

Who We Are

IIOC Young is led by two main boards:

• Young Kids Board – led by Hana Nashawati, serving elementary and middle school youth.
• Youth Board – led by Yousef Elsadek, serving high school and college students.

The Young Department is supported by the IIOC Board of Directors and guided by the mentorship of Imam Sheikh Mohamad El Zahed and Sheikh Mohammed Panchbhaya, ensuring our efforts remain rooted in authentic Islamic knowledge and tradition.

Alongside these boards, IIOC Young is also home to initiatives such as Seeking Sakinah (sisters-only program), Young Kitchen (youth-prepared meals supporting programs), and Young Café (a youth-led entrepreneurship project offering coffee, matcha, and tea).
