About Dallas Youth Group
Dallas Youth Group gives Shia Muslim youth in Dallas a place to talk, learn, and build real bonds with one another and with esteemed scholars. Its youth events, camp, and community Umrah are all built around religion and relationship, which gives young people more than a calendar full of activities. For donors, that means supporting a community where faith feels approachable and youth have room to grow together.
What sets Dallas Youth Group apart is how clearly it centers Shia Muslim youth, not as an audience, but as the heart of the work. The programming stays close to what young people need most here, youth events, Camp Kawthar, and a community Umrah that brings learning and connection into the same space.
