Muslim Boys Level UP Program
A structured 3-year mentorship journey built on Discipline, Confidence, and Leadership — Where boys become men, one level at a time.
Connecting hearts & building strong families
Mahabah, Inc. is a nonprofit organization rooted in the belief that strong Muslim families begin with strong Muslim men — and strong men are built young.
The Muslim Boys Level UP Program is our flagship mentorship initiative for young men in grades 7-9 (middle school through freshman year). Through structured sessions, one-on-one mentorship, habit tracking, and Islamic grounding, we walk alongside these boys as they grow into confident, disciplined, and service-oriented Muslims.
This is not just a program. It is a 3-year journey — a covenant between mentors, families, and young men committed to rising together.
Three pillars. One mission.
Each year, this pillar grows with your son — from self-governance in Year One, to confident voice in Year Two, to servant leadership in Year Three. He learns to lead himself before he leads others.
Faith is not just belief — it is practice. Each participant cultivates a personal Deen habit anchored to their daily routine, deepening their connection to Allah through consistency and intention.
A strong body supports a strong soul. Every participant works toward a shared fitness habit, understanding that caring for the amanah of our bodies is an act of worship in itself.
A path of progressive growth
Each level builds upon the last — moving from discipline, to developing courage and voice, to the ultimate goal of the program, serving and leading others. Boys who complete all three levels emerge as young Muslim men ready to give back to their community.
The foundational year. Boys focus on self-governance through structured journaling (Muhāsabah), weekly intention-setting (Mushāraṭah), and consistent habit formation. They learn to show up for themselves before they can show up for others.
Full Academic School Year ~9 MonthsBuilt on the discipline of Year One, boys now develop courage, communication, and conviction. They practice public speaking, navigating challenges with clarity, and expressing their values with confidence in every setting.
Full Academic School Year ~9 MonthsThe culminating year. Young men step into servant leadership, preparing to mentor younger participants, engaging in community service, and developing the vision and skills to take what they’ve built to the community.

For the boy who is ready to rise
Muslim Boys Grades 7–9
The program is designed specifically for this critical window — old enough to take ownership, young enough to build lasting foundations.
Genuinely Motivated to Grow
We look for boys who want to improve — not those who are sent. A written application and mentor interview ensure the right fit for everyone.
Supported by Their Family
Parent and family buy-in is essential. We hold a family commitment conversation before enrollment to align on expectations and vision.
Committed to the Full Journey
Completion matters more than enrollment numbers. We partner with families to minimize barriers while maintaining meaningful commitment.
A Note to Families
We understand the responsibility you carry. Our volunteer mentors are dedicated brothers who give their time because they believe in this generation. We ask families to partner with us — attending commitment conversations, encouraging journaling at home, and celebrating your son's growth alongside us.
A worthy investment in his future
The Muslim Boys Level UP Program is a three-year commitment designed to help your son grow in faith, character, leadership, and responsibility — through weekly mentorship, retreats, service projects, and meaningful brotherhood. We believe in being fully transparent about the cost so families can plan with confidence, insha'Allah.
2026–2027 Program Fee
The program fee helps support mentor honorariums, facility rental, curriculum activities, program supplies, administration, and other expenses necessary to provide a high-quality experience.
Families are highly encouraged to pay annually to simplify the year, insha'Allah. This is the rate for the 2026–2027 program year.
Annual Weekend Retreat
Each year, participants attend a required weekend retreat — immersive leadership development, spiritual growth, outdoor experiences, and brotherhood.
The retreat fee helps cover accommodations, meals, activities, transportation (if provided), program materials, guest speaker honorariums, and other retreat-related expenses.
No family turned away for financial reasons. Limited financial assistance, insha'Allah, may be available for families with demonstrated need.
Ready to begin the journey?
