We appreciate all the help we receive. Our team of dedicated volunteers keeps our programs running smoothly and supports the efforts of teachers and students of the holy Qur'an. 

Even if you think an effort is small, it can hold a big benefit!

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said to me, "Do not belittle any good deed, even your meeting your brother with a cheerful face."[Muslim].

وعن أبي ذرٍْ رضي الله عنه قال : قال لي رسول الله صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم «لاتَحقِرَنَّ مِنَ المعْرُوف شَيْئاً وَلَو أن تلقى أخاك بوجه طليق » رواه مسلم .

If you are interested in volunteering, please let us know your availability on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays.

Right now, the busiest times for volunteers are before classes start and at the end of classes.  Please be aware that there may be quiet times with not much to do while classes are in session.

We need volunteers from about 4:30pm to 9pm -- but you do not have to stay for the whole time! Please let us know which times are better for you.

We need your help with:

-- Set-Up

-- Clean-Up

-- Tutoring and Supervision During Study Hall on Mondays

-- Photocopying

-- Advertising the Programs

We will also need help making Eid goody bags for the students and organizing the Graduation Party at the end of the semester.  

If you have any other suggestions for the program, please let us know. Your ideas are always welcome!
