We Are in Crisis!

For the past two years, the CYD Center has been a lifeline, a space where youth grow, families gather, and hearts are healed. But today, our very existence is at stake.

To secure our building, we borrowed funds from community investors with the promise to repay. Now, $800,000 remains outstanding.

$800K

In In Debt and Time Is Running Out

If we cannot repay this amount, we risk losing the building entirely , and with it, every program, every class, every service we’ve built.

This is not a theoretical crisis. IT'S A COUNTDOWN. A matter of weeks before irreversible loss. We are calling on every soul who believes in community, in youth, in the future to help us own this space and keep the heartbeat of CYD alive.

Without this building we loose our programs, our space and our future

Why The CYD Matters

The CYD Center has been the heartbeat of the Muslim community in Montreal—providing programs for youth, women, families, and newcomers. Without it, hundreds will be left without support.

How Can You Help?

Every single person has the power to make a difference. Whether it’s through a one-time donation, becoming a monthly supporter, sharing our campaign, or encouraging others to give — your action counts. We are facing an $800K debt that threatens the very existence of the CYD Center. If 8,000 people gave just $100, we could save it. You can be the reason our doors stay open, our programs continue, and our youth keep growing. This is not just charity — it’s investing in a future worth fighting for.

What others are saying

"More Than Just A Mosque"

CYD Centre Islamique is more than just a mosque – it’s a true community hub. The environment is always clean, welcoming, and filled with positive energy. Whether you’re coming for prayer, family activities, youth programs, or simply to connect with others, you’ll find something valuable here.
The people are incredibly kind and respectful, always ready to help and make you feel at home. What impressed me most is the variety of programs for all ages – from kids’ Quran classes and fun camps to community workshops and spiritual gatherings.
It’s a place that truly invests in the next generation while staying rooted in Islamic values. I’ve seen my own faith grow just by being involved. May Allah bless this center, its team, and everyone who contributes to its success. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean, well-run, and vibrant Islamic center!" - Aymen Hergli

"Best Place To Any Young Person"

I had the pleasure of visiting the Muslim Youth Center recently, and I must say it left a lasting impression on me. The welcoming atmosphere, dedicated staff, and diverse programs make it a valuable resource for the youth.

The center provides a safe and inclusive space for young people to connect, learn, and grow. From educational workshops to sports activities, there's something for everyone. The commitment to fostering both personal and spiritual development is commendable.

The Muslim Youth Center is the best place to any young person seeking a supportive community, educational opportunities, and a place to deepen their faith. It's a testament to the importance of such centers in nurturing the future leaders of our community.." - Mirvit Mohamed
