Join us for a one-of-kind conference of Tarbiya, PACE, youth leaders and activists.

This year’s Tarbiya, PACE and Youth annual meetings will be combined into one summit under the theme Overcoming Roadblocks: Becoming Agents of Change in Today’s World. 

Join us for a one-of-kind conference of Tarbiya, PACE, and youth leaders and activists from Oct. 28th – 30th in Kansas City, MO. This is unlike any training MAS has offered in the past. It is a meeting of the minds to work together across generations and disciplines as we overcome roadblocks we face in Islamic work to truly become agents of change in our communities.

You can look forward to in-depth tracks, cross-departmental collaborative workshops, and incredible networking opportunities to gain maximum benefit from the expertise of peers and MAS leaders.

The summit will start Friday at 5PM and end Sunday at 3PM Central. Jumuah prayers will be available to those who arrive early Friday.

If my spouse and I are attending, do we register for the double? If we are bringing kids do we go for quad and double?

You may book the double, triple, or family package (for 4) on one transaction. Simply indicate how many persons are attending in order to be placed in the same room. Note that the minimum age for this conference is 16 years old as there is no childcare available.

Is Friday a light day, would it be acceptable to skip it?

As this is a short conference, every part of the schedule is crucial to programming. We ask that you plan to attend the summit in its entirety, starting Friday 5 PM.
