Muslim Youth across the world are experiencing a tremendous challenge to their identity at this time in history. The Deep Roots project exists to challenge that. Our mission is to engage each Deep Roots youth participant in a focused, intensive process of development whereby they develop roots that stabilize them in an ever changing, challenging world. Roots reinforce their faith, identity and purpose and enable them to stay strong against the forces of Islamophobia and challenges to their deen.

“Let this be our beautiful departure from stagnation; let our minds come alive; enter another dimension; go beyond the stars eagerly struggling to find that… which our naked eyes did not know existed; rise like a falcon born to soar and not be alone but be present amongst others.”
-Allama Iqbal
