Raising confident, practising Muslims — for the sake of Allah.
NextGen is the youth division of the Muslim Circle of Canada (MCC), a community organization established in 2005 serving Scarborough and the wider GTA.
Protecting Faith · Proclaiming Truth · Raising Leaders
The future of Islam in Canada will be shaped by today's youth.
We are committed to nurturing a generation of Muslims who are firmly rooted in the Qur'an and Sunnah, intellectually confident, spiritually resilient, and equipped to navigate the realities of modern society without compromising their faith.
A holistic approach to Islam in a multicultural Canada
We believe individual development is the foundation of broader social progress. NextGen helps each young person grow in faith, knowledge, and character — and then lead.
We exist to support the educational, spiritual, and social development of young Muslims and their families — nurturing them to practise Islam with confidence and to contribute to Canadian society.
Protecting Faith
Faith that is cultivated deliberately — through knowledge, mentorship, and community — not left to chance.

Young Muslims in the West are growing up in an environment filled with intellectual, moral, social, and cultural challenges. They face difficult questions about faith, identity, purpose, relationships, and belonging — often without trusted spaces where those questions can be explored openly and confidently.
MCC NextGen exists to provide that space.
The four pillars of MCC
Our three-part mission is carried out through the four working pillars of the Muslim Circle of Canada — NextGen brings each of them to the next generation.
Invitation
Calling young people to faith and a sincere relationship with Allah.
Education
A structured Islamic education and leadership training for every age.
Service & Justice
Putting faith into action through community service across Canada.
Culture & Research
Helping Canadian Muslim youth thrive in a multicultural society.
Part of something bigger
The Muslim Circle of Canada runs masjids, schools, and programs for all ages. NextGen is where it all begins — the youth who will carry this community into the future.
- Faith. Rooting young hearts in the Qur'an and Sunnah, and a sincere relationship with Allah.
- Knowledge. A structured syllabus that takes youth from the basics to confident understanding.
- Leadership. Developing character, public speaking, and the skills to serve and lead with ihsan.
- Community. Belonging — a circle of friends and mentors who grow together, for the sake of Allah.
