Five Before College Reviews 16

Our 8th-grade son just completed FYQ (Find Your Qibla); a 2-month program that aims to help youth surface what their purpose in life may be, and put it in action. The program includes talks, group discussions, 1:1 coaching, and culminates in a passion project. MashaAllah the coaches are excellent (passionate, gentle, capable, wise) and know how to work with youth. Our coach was Br. Patrick B. The program structure is engaging, and the material is thoughtfully curated. We had some doubts mid program about the pace/priorities, but in the end it was a very positive experience. May Allah put Barakah in this work.

We signed up two of our children expecting them to benefit. But we didn’t know to what extent. We were pleasantly surprised by how much was done in 8 weeks. The kids loved it. They were very engaged and excited for each video call. I have seen so much growth and I’m so happy with the Fin Your Qibla program. I would suggest it for all parents that want their kids to be successful and stay connected to our religion.

Great program for muslim kid to help get the best of them and equip them with skills to balance deen and dunia

The team is wonderful. My girl really enjoyed the experience

Interactions with coaches that not only make you feel good about yourself, but experts in their fields. Was able to attend exclusive events IRL and received expert advice on my passion project.

It helped me find my passion that also aligned with Islam! They do their best to understand their students and guide them along their journey to the fullest. Anyone who enters the program will find success, Insha'Allah!

Really amazing program for teens to discover their passions and take actionable steps to putting their interests to use to help others. Great mentors and guidance along the way as well

I had a call with their team regarding UC application and it was amazing! I got a better understanding of what I was doing wrong in my application.

This program is amazing
My son got huge help for his college application and his essay. The entire team is amazing. They guided him with professionalism and sincerity. I was unable to pay for premium but they helped me out for that as well. Thank you all of you for giving my son such huge help that he wouldn't have gotten otherwise.

The team was very engaged with the students and is able to dive into their strengths and get them thinking to work on their strengths. Sr Asumini was very receptive to parent feedback on our on prespective of the passion project and how we wanted it approved.

The instructors were very helpful, the classwork was highly organized, and the program itself helped me identify my passion project.

I like that they not only talk about college but also about deen and the ultimate goal is Jannah.
With so many distractions it gives students time to think and decide what they want to do and different options they have.
They also arrange guests that give more insight into college admissions process and their journey and experiences.

The Finding Your Qibla program has been useful to my son opening his horizon and in the short 8 weeks I have seen tremendous growth in his confidence, Oman and faith and approach to issues. He has been able to connect his passion for basketball to impacting lives through the sports and I look forward to how he is able to take this forward. I am happy I registered him for the program.

Doing amazing work with high schoolers. Giving them the guidance to do the deep work of knowing themselves and searching within for who they are and what they are naturally gifted and talented for.
All mentors are really dedicated and doing this with pure intention to help the Muslim ummah. They do everything to accommodate students of all backgrounds into their program.
I wish Brother Hamzah and his team all the best for future endeavors.

This program is well designed and thought off. It helps youth look deeper and find their passion and purpose in life. It guides them to discover themselves and build projects based on their passion and purpose.

Clarity in establishing qibla statements, goal setting, progress and love the concept of MVP and presentations.
