At the Canberra Islamic Centre (CIC), engaging youth is more than a priority—it’s a cornerstone of building a vibrant, inclusive, and future-ready community. The Youth Engagement Program (YEP) 2025–2026 is designed to foster meaningful connections with young people, empowering them to grow, lead, and contribute within an Islamic framework.

Why Youth Engagement Matters

Future Leaders: Young people are the heart of tomorrow’s community. By nurturing their development today, CIC lays the foundation for a dynamic and spiritually grounded future.

Inclusive Participation: CIC creates safe, values-based spaces where youth can express ideas, connect with peers, and explore their identity and potential.

Tailored Engagement Recognising that every young person is different, CIC adopts diverse engagement methods to meet youth where they feel most comfortable—ensuring authentic and inclusive involvement.

Our Commitment

The success of youth engagement relies on the full support of CIC’s Executive Committee and the broader community. Together, we aim to:

  • Provide holistic support for youth-led initiatives.
  • Encourage active participation in religious, educational, and social programs.
  • Build leadership pathways and mentoring opportunities.

CIC’s Youth Engagement Program is a living commitment to empowering the next generation through faith, connection, and opportunity.
