Muslim Youth of Central Ohio (MYCO) is building a state of the art facility dedicated to supporting the next generation of Muslims through spiritual growth, leadership development, education, and athletics, providing a safe space for Muslim youth to thrive in Ohio for generations more to come.
Because a strong Muslim identity isn't built by accident—it's built with community.
American Muslim youth are navigating complex identities shaped by family, school, faith, and society. Research shows that their development is influenced by multiple environments and when these environments are disconnected, youth can struggle with belonging and confidence.
Muslim youth in America need a welcoming space where they can feel a sense of belonging and understanding.
MYCO meets Muslim youth where they're at today, providing a space to play, socialize, and meet mentors who guide them academically and spiritually.
Our youth cultivate strong Islamic identities, lift each other up, and go on to become leaders of their own communities.
This visionary center will only be possible through the support of donors who believe in building something lasting for our youth.Whether you choose to give once or become a recurring supporter, your donation plays a direct role in building MCYC.
