Growing Leaders,
One Sunday at a
Time.

GreenStairs Leadership Academy was founded over 25 years ago with a simple but powerful belief:

that Muslims – teenagers and adults – deserve a space to grow into confident, principled leaders who use common sense, context, critical judgement and who accountable to God for all that they do 

AND

who know why they need to know the meaning of what they say in prayer and then learn it 

Wisdom

“Every one of you is a shepherd, and every one of you is responsible for his flock.”

— Prophet Muhammad ﷺ (Bukhari & Muslim)

Our Mission

Why, when, what, how much $?

We try to equip Muslim teenagers with the skills, values, and confidence to lead — in their homes, schools, communities, and eventually the broader world.
