About Us
The Jaffari Islamic Youth (JIY) is a board of youth for the youth of Jaffari Community Center (JCC). We are 9 dedicated members seeking to create a space at JCC where youth can be engaged socially, recreationally, spiritually and academically. Through this, we aim to foster strong bonds of friendship, leadership, and faith.
Grounded in Islamic principles, we strive to empower our youth to positively build a fulfilling community. The values which guide us and reflect our commitment to our community are encapsulated in the acronym W.A.L.I, which means friend or guardian. Our values are Wilāyah (social unity), Amānah (trust), Leaders, and ‘Ilm (knowledge). It is an honour to serve the youth of this community with integrity.
