Khidmah Program
Join our Monthly Volunteering Community Program
“Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth” – Muhammad Ali.
Overview & Purpose
This volunteering program organized by UCMUSA and the Nawawi Center aims to revive the soul with the simple acts of kindness that will get the community together for a good cause. Monthly volunteering events will be held which will involve helping out people in need or the planet itself.
How does it work?
Every month there will be a different volunteer event related to the sunnah of the prophet peace be upon him. However, if you attend each event for 6 months in a row, you will receive a certificate for your efforts.
Who can join?
Anyone! You can choose to join that specific event, or you can join the program itself, which will reward you a certificate in the end (good for the CV!).
