I think i already kinda started on my community Initiative a few weeks ago, my initiative is to stop teen violence meaning (vandalism, gangs/gang fights, and shootings). The solution I thought could help the problem is by creating a youth group for the teens that attend my masjid. The main focus or purpose of the group would be to occupy the teens.This would help give them more time to get more involved with their community.
So not only would they stay occupied but they could also stay in check with their religion. The youth in my community are pretty much lazy I know this because I was just like them not to long ago. Its like we would see something wrong with the community but not neccessarily know how to fix it and feel like we dont have the adults to support us. So basically we would just end back up at square one.
So I proposed my idea to an uncle and he loved the idea and sorta helped me begin the youth group.Al-hamdullilah so far we have been on the right foot forward and slowly i think we will make a change for our little community. I want the youth to feel inspired and want to make a difference I want them to know they have people they can go to help or seek when they are having trouble with something.
I know my initiative is far from perfect and that's where i think the fellows and allies can help me so it can be a great initiative. But can you all please leave comment's, like what activities can do to keep them more interested? Any Idea's?
