YOUTH LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT COURSE
History
The Youth Leadership Development Course (YLDC) is a popular program that has been running for the last seven years and is currently a two-year program (YLDC 1&2). The goal of this course is to provide students with continuing Islamic education and leadership training. Our faculty are experienced instructors, each with over 20 years of experience in the subject matter and the ability to work with teenagers of all ages. The YLDC alumni are all college students in different field of studies including engineering, biology, medical sciences, and other fields. As a society, we have recently undergone a strategic review process that included revision of our society’s vision and the YLDC curriculum.
