Our youth program focuses on instilling a foundation of self‑confidence and leadership in Muslim girls through community service engagement, workshops and trainings, and its weekly youth group. Our seniors program offers ESOL and civics classes, empowering them to navigate their later years with dignity.
Even beyond these services, Turning Point plays a vital role in strengthening the wider ecosystem of support for survivors.
