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.

[NEEDS INPUT: anonymised real stories from youth or leaders can be added here once provided, following the identity-protection guidelines above.]
