MAS Youth Memphis was first established in the city of Memphis, TN in 2007 as Crew 220 of the Venturing program of the Boy Scouts of America. This group, comprising fifteen to twenty youths from around Memphis, participated in diverse activities ranging from camping in Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi, to community service at masjid events, to trips to the annual MAS Convention in Chicago and to the US Space and Rocket Center in Huntsville, AL. In December 2008, following the visit to Memphis of Dr. Wael Hamza from MAS New York, a team of six youth leaders went to MAS Youth New York’s First Annual Leadership retreat and gained vital experience in leadership, time management, events planning, community service, and organizational skills. After returning to Memphis, this group of youth leaders re-established and reenergized MAS Youth Memphis.

Currently, MAS Youth Memphis has more than thirty members and is continuously expanding, Alhamdulillah.  MAS Youth Memphis has weekly programs and events for the youth of Memphis. These events include MAS Youth Memphis Movie Night, Halaqah Night, Game Night, General Body Meeting, and, a novel program established in Memphis, MAS Youth Memphis Career Focus. The Community Service committee arranges volunteering activities throughout the greater Memphis area, including delivering meals to senior citizens as part of the MIFA Meals on Wheels program.

InshAllah, MAS Youth Memphis hopes to grow and continue to serve the youth of Memphis for many years to come.
