Igniting Potential. Guiding Excellence. Empowering Generations. The Kalsooni Youth Program is a transformative educational initiative dedicated to empowering Somali youth (ages 15–25) to lead with purpose, integrity, and vision. Anchored in cultural values and Islamic principles, Kalsooni fosters intellectual growth, emotional resilience, and a strong sense of social responsibility, preparing young people to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Through engaging workshops, personalized mentorship, and experiential learning opportunities, participants cultivate critical thinking, develop strong moral character, and adopt success-oriented habits essential for academic, personal, and professional excellence.
Kalsooni’s holistic framework is built upon five core pillars:
- Universal Principles—Timeless values that guide ethical decision-making and purposeful leadership.
- Good Character Development—Nurturing integrity, empathy, and a commitment to the common good.
- Success Habits for Growth—Instilling discipline, resilience, and lifelong learning practices.
- Achieving Greatness—Equipping youth with the tools to set meaningful goals and pursue them with confidence.
- Islamic Study—Deepening spiritual understanding and aligning personal growth with faith-based principles.
At Kalsooni, we believe that every young person possesses untapped potential. Our mission is to help them discover, refine, and amplify that potential empowering them to become scholars, innovators, and leaders who will make a lasting impact in their communities and beyond.
