The Youth Forum Section organises a diversity of activities where youths volunteer and participate such as road cleaning, fundraising, and camping. 

Their story

The organization’s founding was driven by Muslim youth who recognized the urgency of fostering a movement to revive and promote the principles of Islam. Their mission was to guide others, call people to God, and help reclaim a collective identity while fulfilling their broader societal role.

Constituency

Young people from all age groups and nationalities.

They meet young people online, at their own centre, in a public outdoor location (such as a street or park), or in an indoor public place (such as a café or municipality building).

Current management

For each branch in Lebanon, there is a dedicated organising team despite the presence of many joint activities. This team consists of both youth and elders who organise and lead activities, actively involving the youth in both organisation and execution. The younger generation plays a prominent role in these activities.

Use of digital tools

They showcase their activities and courses on social media platforms and their official website, utilising Zoom for lectures and diploma programs. Additionally, they collect donations through these channels
