Mentoring Program:

Developing a strong Islamic identity requires the support of not just parents and teachers but peers as well.  Hira High will pair every high school student with a college mentor.  This mentor will meet students weekly and stay together with the students for the four years of high school. The college student will provide academic and homework help for the students, internship opportunities, and assistance to apply to college.  They will have halacas, itikaf, iftars and other religious activities.  They would travel to different masjids and do community service projects.  They will also have social events like sports, camping, and traveling to different cities.  The mentors will set academic and Islamic goals for the students and support the students to reach these goals.
