Friday Night Live
Boys & Girls (ages 14-18) every Friday from 7-9pm
What is FNL? FNL, “Friday Night Live,” is a weekly program for the diverse youth of our community to gather at the Mecca Center to take a break from the everyday social pressures of teenage life. Our goal is to facilitate a safe haven conducive to encouraging, inspiring, and motivating them to form an identity and develop a strong foundation in Islam and connection with God.
What happens during NFL? FNL is comprised of a combination of activities, food, and healthy Islamic discussions. These discussions vary in topics ranging from inspiring stories from the important figures of the past to essential tips on how to grow to become healthy and successful. They develop healthy bonds of brotherhood and sisterhood while engaging in sports and other recreational activities. It is through that bond that we can revive the hearts of the younger generation and allow them to be on the fronts of Islam leading the generations to come.
Who is FNL for? FNL is for youth boys and girls who are in high school ranging between the ages of 14-18. Our goal is for attendees to move on to serve as leaders for Mecca Meet Ups and some even as leaders of FNL itself.
