SUMMARY:Elementary & Middle School Boys Halaqa & Hangout | Sidi Amin Gharad & Sidi Zeeshan Mukhtar
DESCRIPTION:For Elementary & Middle School Boys (Ages 8-13): Join us weekly in November for a Halaqa and hang-out session to help them make connections and bonds\, form a brotherhood\, and navigate school and social challenges as they grow into young men. \nThese sessions aim to craft our next generation of confident\, faithful Muslim men. These Halaqas are for only ages 8-13—no younger boys. The sessions are capped at 30 teens. Once limited spots are full\, please join the waitlist. \nPizza is included each week. \n7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. | Fridays | 11/1\, 11/8\, 11/15\, 11/22 (no session on 11/29) | MCC Banquet Hall | $10/week | Register at mcceastbay.org/boys-hangout \nParents must pick up their child(ren) by 8:30 p.m.\, no later than 9 p.m. \nFor questions about the Halaqa\, please contact Sr. Fouzia Alam at 925-330-4287. \nMCC has a standing policy that financial need should never hold a person back from attaining spiritual or educational knowledge within the four walls of the Muslim Community Center. For a financial waiver for this event\, please email scholarship@mcceastbay.org. \nAbout the halaqa facilitators \nAmin Gharad served two terms as President of the Muslim Youth of North America (MYNA) and\, most recently\, Islamic Studies Director at Northstar School\, where he also taught boys’ P.E.
