History

Back in 2001, MAC Youth started a series of lectures called Rawahil in Our History, which spanned many years. It covered topics such as: The Prophets, Contemporary Scholars, etc. This series was then changed to “MAC Youth Learn“, with topics: The Ten Commandments and The Ten Mubashareen. The series was initially held at the main mosque, and then on campus at Carleton University.

In 2006, the committee was charged with the task of organizing all kinds of events for university students, in addition to the lecture series. Sports events, comedy nights, one-time lectures, ski trips, and other events were held. Now with MAC Youth Fit taking care of sports and out door fitness activities; the remaining events fall on the shoulders of Campus MAC Youth.

Because in addition to the learning aspect, there are also a lot of fun activities, and to more endear the name of the team to university students, it was renamed to Campus MAC Youth.
