Muslim Youth Outreach (MYO+) works to promote a positive representation of Islamic values and build strong and productive relationships within and outside the community. Kaukab Husain is founder and director of the group. For the past year, MYO+ teens have been providing virtual tutoring to displaced Syrians within Syria, near Turkey's border. They have also tutored refugee students in Dayton. Their Humanity Under Oppression project includes the teens' artwork and reflections on genocide, ethnic cleansing, and mass atrocities.
