Criterion Group is a US 501(c)(3) nonprofit training young Muslim leaders across the West
Mission One Million

Building the leaders who protect the next generation's eman.

Young Muslims across the West are quietly disconnecting from Islam - carrying doubts, isolation, and pressure that rarely show on the surface. Criterion Group trains young Muslim community and da'wah leaders who build the mentorship, brotherhood, and safe spaces that keep eman strong.

Our Model

One leader, trained once, reaches many

Criterion Group invests in a leader once. That leader goes on to build mentorship, brotherhood, sisterhood, and belonging around young Muslims - consistently, over years, not just for the length of a single event. We're building the infrastructure that protects Muslim identity for the next generation.

01

Train a leader

We identify and train a young Muslim community or da'wah leader.

02

Build presence

The leader builds real mentorship and brotherhood or sisterhood around youth in their community.

03

Create belonging

Young people gain a safe space, a trusted role model, and somewhere to bring their doubts.

04

Multiply the model

One trained leader reaches many young people, consistently, over time.
