The goals for YCN 2020 include:
• To encourage young people to feel a sense of belonging to our community and have the opportunity to meet other people from different cities, backgrounds and cultures
• To be collaborative in our working, widening the opportunity to volunteer and take leadership roles within the Jamat and the wider community
• To support young people in understanding our community, our faith and our values
Our local youth clubs enjoy hosting events for our regular attendees. Highlights include:
• Virtual Talent Night
• Disco Quiz Night
• Share and Bake nights
• Table Tennis Tournaments
Nationally, YCN has brought the youth “Show Me How”, a series of workshops and tutorials where members of the Jamat show you how to make something new – be it a new skill, a new hobby or a new baked good. We have had over 20 workshops held since March 2020. These include:
