Five Before CollegeReviews of fivebeforecollege.com

The unique combination of elite mentors, talented students and the ability to extract a marketable and differentiating product from a young Muslim teenager that aligns with and perhaps even enhances their moral compass in just 8 weeks is amazing. Getting into the college of one's choice is the natural byproduct of the kind of character and practical development FBC promotes. Hats off to Hamza and co. for developing a first of its kind program to advance the next generation of the ummah!

Very organized. Right sized groups that can give personal attention. Coaches are really good and caring

I love that FBC mentors genuinely care about student success. Br. Hamzah went out his way to accommodate my son and check on his progress, MashaAllah tabarakAllah. One of my Duas for my kids is to have excellent Muslim mentors whom Allah loves, as it truly takes a village to raise a child. Nothing beats Akhira focused youth mentorship. I'm so grateful my son not only found a great mentor, but also his tribe of like minded peers. Alhamdullillah. May Allah allow FBC to help more Muslim youth become excellent servers of the Ummah.

Great program designed for an age group that needs to identify their strengths and allows them to work towards their passion in a comfortable Islamic environment. Also allows to network with like-minded students and open up avenues that students may not even know to explore. I’ve personally heard these students projects and myself as a parent have started to think about my own passion projects that have been bottled up for so long! Keep up the good work!

Our 8th-grade son just completed FYQ (Find Your Qibla); a 2-month program that aims to help youth surface what their purpose in life may be, and put it in action. The program includes talks, group discussions, 1:1 coaching, and culminates in a passion project. MashaAllah the coaches are excellent (passionate, gentle, capable, wise) and know how to work with youth. Our coach was Br. Patrick B. The program structure is engaging, and the material is thoughtfully curated. We had some doubts mid program about the pace/priorities, but in the end it was a very positive experience. May Allah put Barakah in this work.

We signed up two of our children expecting them to benefit. But we didn’t know to what extent. We were pleasantly surprised by how much was done in 8 weeks. The kids loved it. They were very engaged and excited for each video call. I have seen so much growth and I’m so happy with the Fin Your Qibla program. I would suggest it for all parents that want their kids to be successful and stay connected to our religion.

The team is wonderful. My girl really enjoyed the experience

Interactions with coaches that not only make you feel good about yourself, but experts in their fields. Was able to attend exclusive events IRL and received expert advice on my passion project.
