A transformational space where Muslim youth ages 11–15 grow spiritually, emotionally, and socially — through two parallel programs designed for young ladies and young men.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Both Fall & Winter/Spring semesters · early access to trips · scholarship priority.
Flexible enrollment — sign up one semester at a time.
Limited availability — great way to try it out.
A structured weekly brotherhood circle for our young men, taught by Ustadh Asim at Ihsan. Every Saturday evening, boys engage in a four-block rhythm — Qur’an, halaqa, team challenge, and reflection — designed to grow them in discipline, knowledge, character, and brotherhood across the year, inshaAllah.
“Indeed, Allah will not change the condition of a people until they change what is in themselves.”
To raise disciplined, grounded Muslim young men who understand their faith, carry themselves with integrity, and are equipped to face the challenges of manhood — not because they were told to, but because they chose to rise up. Our Vision · Surah Ar-Ra’d 13:11
What we build, every Saturday, week after week.
Self-regulation, punctuality, and following through on commitments.
Qur’anic understanding, Islamic history, and life skills.
Honesty, courage, humility, and respect for self and others.
Teamwork, accountability to peers, and community service.
A four-phase journey of growth — from foundation to leadership — across 37 carefully designed weeks.
Identity, expectations, and brotherhood. Boys learn who they are as Muslims and co-create the community they want to belong to.
Habits, self-regulation, and accountability. Building the daily routines and inner strength that define a confident young Muslim man.
Values, relationships, and community. Honest conversations about honesty, family, kindness, and standing for what’s right.
Apply, lead, and prepare for manhood. Each boy steps up to lead — and graduates with a vision for who he is becoming.
All 37 Saturdays · scholarship priority for full-year families.
Flexible enrollment — one semester at a time.
Limited availability — perfect for occasional attendance.
Across both programs — Young Ladies and Young Men — RiseUp is rooted in the same six practices that shape confident, spiritually grounded young Muslims.
Memorization paired with meaningful tafsir discussions that bring the words of Allah to life.
A grounded understanding of faith, fiqh, and seerah — taught in a way that speaks to today’s youth.
A safe, judgment-free space for the real questions youth carry — about identity, faith, and life.
Journaling, reflection, and intentional practice to help every young person become their best self.
Practical, hands-on workshops tied to the real situations youth face — at school, online, and at home.
Trained Muslim educators, older mentors, and meaningful volunteer opportunities in the community.
Both Young Ladies and Young Men follow the same yearly calendar — same first day, same festivals, same breaks. Only the weekly times differ.
Tours, introductions, and meet-and-greets with our youth mentors.
The journey begins, bismillah!
Full-day program woven into the Saturday Program.
Three-hour evening circle with Ustadh Asim.
Every important date for the year, shared across both programs.
Date will be announced once finalized — stay tuned for updates, inshaAllah.
