YOUTH SUPPORT

One of the fundamental aims at IYA is youth support. IYA was founded to facilitate the physical, spiritual, emotional and mental growth of young Muslims living here in Northern Ireland. We aim to achieve these objectives through a number of projects, activities and initiatives.

​

“Fear Allah and treat your children [small or grown] fairly (with equal justice).” (Al-Bukhari and Muslim)

​

We plan to work with families to ensure that their children and young people have a bright future and are able to succeed in their ambitions and dreams. Our focus is on all members of our community, however, supporting the most vulnerable in our society is fundamental to our principles. This involves support for Refugee families, newly emigrated families and struggling young people, through our activities, initiatives and projects.

​

Supporting our young people is vital for community growth and thus at IYA we believe supporting the mental health of young people is crucial to building a vibrant and kind community. To support our young peoples mental health we will partner with schools and community organisations to foster an inclusive environment which enables learning, fun and happiness.
