About Us

MYSC is dedicated to empowering Muslim youth by providing the resources, mentorship, and support they need to overcome challenges and succeed. Our organization focuses on fostering growth, confidence, and positive contributions to the community through impactful events and opportunities.

Our History

Founded in 2022 in London, Ontario, home to one of Canada’s oldest Muslim communities, the Muslim Youth Social Connection (MYSC) was established to address the growing needs of Muslim youth in Grades 9-12. With over 20 high schools in the region and a vibrant blend of first and second-generation Canadians, we recognized the unique challenges these young individuals face, from cultural pressures to navigating their identities in a diverse society.

MYSC was created out of a shared passion by a group of men and women committed to empowering Muslim youth. Our mission is to provide them with the resources, mentorship, and opportunities they need to overcome obstacles, grow in confidence, and build a successful future. At MYSC, we are dedicated to helping every young Muslim reach their full potential and contribute positively to their communities.

Our Mission

To spark the minds of Muslim Youth to believe in a better future for themselves and their community.

Our Core Values

  • We enable young muslims to dream, grow, believe and achieve.

    This speaks to the idea that every young Muslim should be provided with an environment that fosters their growth and development, and helps them realize their potential. Dreaming refers to the ability of young Muslims to envision a future for themselves, and to set goals and aspirations that they can work towards. We're just here to play a small part in that.

  • We provide a moderate and balanced approach through Islam.

    The backbone of MYSC is the adherence to Islamic guidelines and practices, which guides and informs our decision-making and actions. We are grounded in the teachings of Islam and seek to promote its values and principles in our activities and events.

  • We create unique investment opportunities that have a lasting impact.

    We believe that by investing in education, mentorship, and other forms of personal development, we can empower young Muslims to become better versions of themselves, equipped with the skills and knowledge necessary to make a positive impact on the world around them.

  • We work together as one unified team to attain excellence.

    Our commitment to a unified team approach is reflected in every aspect of our organization, from the way we structure our projects and initiatives to the way we communicate with one another. We believe that by building strong relationships and fostering a sense of belonging, we can create a culture of excellence that benefits not only our organization but also the wider community.

  • We build a better future for our community with partnerships.

    We recognize that we cannot achieve our goals alone. That's why we believe that by working collaboratively with other organizations and individuals, we can create more impactful and sustainable solutions to the challenges facing our community. By doing so, we are building a stronger and more resilient community that can thrive and prosper for generations to come.

President’s Message

Three years ago, what started as a small vision among a few brothers in a basement halaqa has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined. Today, the enthusiasm and engagement from young people confirm the impact MYSC is making in our community, turning that humble beginning into a movement.

As we look ahead to 2025, our commitment to expanding what we’ve built is stronger than ever. The passion of our community fuels us, and we’re focused on providing the next generation with even more resources, opportunities, and support to thrive.

With our dedicated partners and growing team, we’re building something special, and with your support, we’ll continue to create lasting change.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey!
