Al-Mahdi Youth

Al-Mahdi Youth believes in empowering the next generation of Shi’a Muslims to become strong, confident, and compassionate leaders. Our youth group is dedicated to fostering spiritual growth, community involvement, and personal development in a supportive Islamic environment. Our events take place at the Al-Mahdi Islamic Centre, community centres, or other venues, and can range from informal meet-ups to structured programs. The group focuses on themes such as social and cultural events, religious education, leadership development, community service and networking. Explore more about us below and come to our events! We would love to have you.
