Over the years, new generations of Muslims have been actively working towards empowering Muslims in the US. They have established various organizations and initiatives aimed at promoting education, fostering community engagement, and advocating for the rights of Muslims. These efforts have not only helped to create a stronger sense of unity among Muslims in the US but have also contributed to challenging stereotypes and misconceptions about Islam. One of them is Young Muslims!

Young Muslims and NeighborNets Supporting Youth Through Islamic Principles Young Muslims (YM) is a trailblazing national youth organization that has existed since the early 1990s. It has created a well-organized network of local youth groups known as NeighborNets (meaning "neighbour network") across the United States. Each NeighborNet is a dynamic youth group that seeks to instil a solid understanding of Islamic principles in its members by assisting them in putting these principles into practice.

By creating an Islamic environment where youth can form brotherly bonds with their peers, they become familiar and comfortable with Islam and its teachings. The organisation emphasizes the significance of understanding, knowing, and carrying out one's individual and collective obligations as a Muslim. The NeighborNet, a weekly gathering of brothers who come together to discuss relevant societal issues, learn about Islam, and enjoy a Muslim atmosphere, is the most fundamental aspect of YM.

A YM member leads a halaqa for each NeighborNet that covers a variety of significant subjects. This is where YM members gain the fundamental knowledge they require. The organization intends to supplement these halaqas with activities and dinners to foster the safe space and brotherhood environment that today's youth desperately need. Young Muslims have a well organized structure that is divided into wings for brothers and sisters, each of which functions independently of the other. Local gatherings are not mixed, maintaining the separation of brothers and sisters.
