Ihsan Muslim Explorers

RiseUp Youth Program

A transformational space where Muslim youth ages 10–15 grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially — rooted in Qur’an, character, and brotherhood / sisterhood.

Ages 10–15
Three Tailored Sessions
Saturdays · 11 AM – 2 PM
33 Weeks
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ

It’s not just a class. It’s a journey.

RiseUp is the official youth division of Ihsan Muslim Explorers — a safe, empowering space designed for the unique needs of pre-teens and teens.

This year, we’re offering three tailored sessions so every young person finds a space that truly fits where they are in their journey, inshaAllah.

 

A space tailored for each stage of youth.

Because the needs of a 10-year-old are different from those of a 15-year-old, RiseUp now offers three age- and gender-appropriate sessions — each with its own focus, mentors, and rhythm.

 
 
Ages 10–12

Muslim Explorers RiseUp

Girls

The first stepping stone into youth programming — a warm bridge from the Saturday Program into RiseUp. Focus on identity, friendship, and a confident relationship with Qur’an and Islamic character.

 
 
Ages 13–15

RiseUp Sisters

Girls

A dedicated sisterhood circle for older girls. Deeper conversations, female scholarship, leadership, emotional wellness, and the beauty of growing into a thoughtful young Muslim woman.

 
 
Ages 11–15

RiseUp Brothers

Boys

A brotherhood-focused track for boys navigating the path into manhood — Qur’an, mentorship from Muslim men, life skills, service, and the strong character that defines a true Muslim brother.

Six pillars at the heart of RiseUp.

Every session — across all three tracks — is rooted in the same six pillars that shape confident, spiritually grounded young Muslims.

 

Qur’an & Tafsir

Memorization paired with meaningful tafsir discussions that bring the words of Allah to life.

 

Islamic Studies

A grounded understanding of faith, fiqh, and seerah — taught in a way that speaks to today’s youth.

 

Open Discussions

A safe, judgment-free space for the real questions youth carry — about identity, faith, and life.

 

Personal Growth

Journaling, reflection, and intentional practice to help every young person become their best self.

 

Life Skills Workshops

Practical, hands-on workshops tied to the real situations youth face — at school, online, and at home.

 

Mentorship & Service

Trained Muslim educators, older mentors, and meaningful volunteer opportunities in the community.

A full year of growth, in two semesters.

Fall Semester

Sept 6 — Dec 20

Includes Thanksgiving break.

Winter / Spring Semester

Weekly Core Program

Saturdays · 11 AM – 2 PM

The same time slot for all three sessions, in their own dedicated spaces.

Across both semesters: 33 instructional weeks of meaningful growth, inshaAllah.

A gentle space, when they need it.

2:00 PM – 3:00 PM · Optional

After the core program ends, youth are welcome to stay for an optional hour designed to support them where it matters most:

  •  
    Counselor Check-InsOne-on-one time with our licensed youth counselor.
  •  
    Socializing & FriendshipRelaxed time to bond and build community.
  •  
    MentorshipGuidance from older teens and young adult leaders.
  •  
    Homework & Quiet TimeA calm space to catch up on schoolwork.
  •  
    Peer DiscussionsGuided, confidential conversations on real-life topics.

Attendance is optional — but highly recommended for connection and growth.

The 2 PM hour is where some of the most meaningful conversations happen. We encourage every family to take advantage of it whenever possible.
