Course Description

Ramadan is an exciting time for Muslims worldwide, with over one billion Muslims engaged in fasting, prayers, attending mosques for prayers and other events on a daily basis. 

For those who manage the mosques and institutions like the IIT, where a wide spectrum of services is provided it can get especially challenging. Volunteers have to consider logistics, facility readiness, security, crowd management, food preparation and much more! 

The Ramadan Volunteer Training complements the Volunteer Meetings and Security Training with specific tools and tips to assist our volunteers to provide excellent service in the cause of Allah.

At the end of the training, volunteers will have an enhanced sense of the blessings and challenges of volunteering, and will be ready inshallah to embark on their service with excellence.
