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

Youth Impact

30,000+ young Muslims impacted since March 2025. Here's what that actually looks like, day to day.

Mentorship

A trusted person to talk to

Every leader we train is matched into real mentorship relationships with young people in their community - someone present, consistent, and trusted enough to hear a doubt before it becomes a departure.

Safe Spaces

Somewhere to belong

Trained leaders build brotherhood and sisterhood circles, community events, and safe spaces where young Muslims can ask hard questions and be met with patience, not judgement.

Stories

Real impact, told responsibly

We're careful with how we share stories from the young people and leaders we work with - identities protected, nothing embellished, shared only to illustrate why this work matters.

"Wallahi Criterion Group, whatever they're doing, I can attest that no one has done anything like this. The impact Criterion Group will have will be saving the next generation."

Asim - Canada

"This is unlike anything the Western world has ever seen."

Zaid - Australia

"What I love about Criterion Group is that it is putting an end to individual organisations working on their own paths, and paving a way for everyone to come together, supporting one another, and growing collectively as one."

Halal Hygge - Denmark

"The vision that we have, Wallahi it feels like we're gonna take over the world."
