Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
exactly why they need to enroll in a mentionship program rather than send off their kids ignoring their fundamental duty
and quite frankly if the parents do not know how to tell their kids whats right and whats wrong - they will not get anywhere in life
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
if you let some mentor teach all the islam, manners, family issue, what in the world are you gonna do as a parent
you responsibility is not just giving birth

Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
We ran a 2 day session for “recognizing your goals and achieving them”. It was pretty popular.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Well I believe that a parent should be doing all these things, but sadly it’s not the case. So as a mentor, a Muslim leader/role model, its our duty to be teaching this to our young ones.
I teach at an Islamic School, and you’ll be surprised to see how many kids’s parents don’t knwo anything about Islam. Their only source of Islamic Education comes from Islamic School.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
yes they did send me to school - the particular objective was to get a job thus pass kg primary secondary college and eventually get a job so that i can life/feed on my own
they DID NOT send me to school to learn islam manner family values how to eat properly what is healthy etc etc etc etc etc etc
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Classes are open. Register early before they get filled.
The courses will be conducted by me. 
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
I think this mentor-ship should focus on social issues of teenage girls.
i believe many time teenage kids either boy or gal are not comfortable with parents, they keep tendency of rebelliousness, so in that regard mentor could help them to resolve their issues.it is good idea and it should start from mosques/community events.
SK and Catskin: i agree with both of you.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Yes and college issue at time is very stressful for parents of these girls.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
i believe on the foundational stuff + some others more, you must to mention your children yourself
as for the rebelliousness - children dont bring this characteristics from the sky, start by blaming the parents
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
Some great ideas here.
Also, something along the lines of being a confident Muslim girl who is strong enough to fight off pressures of bf’s/ school dances/ etc. not because her parents don’t want her to go or have a bf, but because she HERSELF knows they are not important.
Re: Mentorship programs for Muslim teenage girls
