iBelong is a nonprofit program targeting the complex issues of youth and young adults, regarding modernity, urbanization, immigration, ethnicity, cultural pluralism and identity, particularly those pertinent to American Muslims. It is a neutral, safe, educational and fun space focused on youth exploring and examining their society, its ideologies and themselves while enabling the development of tool sets to understand, engage and benefit society.iBelong utilizes proven and new innovative evidence base programs, training and evaluations administered internally and by 3rd parties. The program has established structure and direction, with the added benefit of youth involvement contributing their creativity and insight to the culture and character of the organization. In essence the mission is not "what is an American Muslim" but rather opens the mind to discover "Who am I as a Muslim and an American."Note:Although our perspective spans the spectrum of Islamic, American and academia, iBelong is open to all youth regardless of race, religion, creed, social background and academics.
