— MYCO Leadership Team
MYCO's Capital Campaign Project of the Muslim Community Youth Center is intentionally designed to support holistic growth: mind, body and spirit. The multipurpose gym, full kitchen, and wellness areas promote health and connection through physical activity and shared meals. The café, co-working center, and training rooms create environments for career exploration, mentorship, and networking. The gaming room and sim racing studio invite play, creativity, and teamwork, ensuring that faith and friendship are experienced as part of everyday life.
Facilities alone don't transform lives. People do. MYCO's programs are led by mentors grounded in Islamic knowledge, who guide youth through each experience with wisdom and purpose. These mentors role model what it means to live Islam with confidence and balance, translating values into lived habits, from the court to the café.
