Muslim Youth for Positive Impact

What Muslim Youth for Positive Impact does

Muslim Youth for Positive Impact (MYPI) is a 501(c)(3) charitable nonprofit founded in 2018/2019 and headquartered in Denver, Colorado (operating from Aurora), with a small staff of 1-10 employees supported by an extensive volunteer and Senior Advisor network. The organization's stated mission is to empower Muslim youth with Islamic identity and principles to make positive impacts on their communities, environment, and relationships. MYPI serves a defined beneficiary base of Muslim youth and families in the Colorado region through four core programs: Adopt-A-Family (a youth ambassador-led food distribution and refugee assistance program), Pathways to Success (skills and career development), Mentorship (tutoring and personal guidance), and Mental Wellness (culturally appropriate counseling and crisis resources). It also operates a Youth Hub digital portal, a Ramadan Experience resource suite, a Ramadan for Educators guide, and the MYPI Center, a physical community facility.

The organization's technology footprint is minimal: it operates on a Squarespace-based website (mypi.org) with Google Forms for volunteer and program registration, and standalone subdomains for the Youth Hub, Mental Wellness Hub, and Ramadan resources. There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile application, and no disclosed AI/ML capabilities. MYPI acquires participants through community-led engagement, word-of-mouth, school partnerships, and event-driven outreach, with events (Ramadan programs, Adopt-A-Family activities) and the MYPI Center serving as primary engagement channels.

MYPI generates revenue exclusively through donations, monthly sponsorships, and event support, with no program fees charged to participants. Institutional funding has come from three Colorado-based foundations: Delta Dental of Colorado Foundation (2022), Caring for Denver Foundation (2022), and Rose Community Foundation (2023). In 2024, MYPI collaborated with the Colorado Department of Education and the Muslim Leadership Council to develop educator-facing resources, representing its most significant institutional partnership to date. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors and Board of Senior Advisors, with Huma Babak Ebadi serving as Executive Director and Lailey Hashem as President.
