Two programs. One mission.

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 two parallel programs so every young person finds a space that truly fits where they are in their journey, inshaAllah.

A sisterhood that grows together.

Two age-based classrooms, one beautiful sisterhood. Young Ladies meets every Saturday from 10 AM to 3 PM, woven seamlessly into our Saturday Program day.

Six pillars at the heart of RiseUp.

Across both programs — Young Ladies and Young Men — RiseUp 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.

Mark your calendars, dear families.

Both Young Ladies and Young Men follow the same yearly calendar — same first day, same festivals, same breaks. Only the weekly times differ.
