Mentorship Program
The mentorship program pairs new huffazh with more experienced huffazh, and allows new huffazh to seek advice, support, and encouragement from other American Muslim youth who have experienced similar challenges as they have. It enables experienced huffazh to help and inspire others and continue on the path of Da’wah and social activism they started when committing to memorizing the Qur’an.
