Salam to all,
I am a brothet in Houston Texas and I just wanna let everyone know some oganizations here in Houston for Muslims.
1)
Crescent Youth: {Taken From Website}-
It seems as in society today, the future of our own ummah is slowly slipping. Our youth today are placed in environments where temptation lurks around every corner, a place where misguidance is an easy walkway to tread down.
Our organization initiated as a response to the lack of youth involvement and the concern that existed among us, who once walked these same footsteps. Realizing that our youth were slipping away before our very eyes we took a call to action with the intent not only to revive the spirits but to stir our youth into involvement, not tomorrow but today. With this dream in mind, in August 2003, we came to be, where our events slowly spread from one mosque to another, to one day to expand throughout all of Houston, Inshallah.
The youth of Islam today will ensure the future of Islam tomorrow. We must make sure that we provide the opportunity to succeed as one ummah, united and strong, under the banner of Islam. Some of our goals include the following:
* To carry out recreational, educational, spiritual, and charitable Islamic activities.
* To encourage the Muslim youth to participate in the activities of the Masjids/Islamic Institutions.
* To provide attractive and viable alternatives to un-Islamic activities.
* To foster mentorship and brotherhood between younger and older youth.
* To instill respect for parents, families, and elders.
* To communicate to our community how significant youth are.
* To strengthen the faith and practice of Muslim youth, allowing them to develop a strong Islamic identity.
* To develop Islamic leadership and unity among Muslims for the future.
* To establish a positive healthy image of Islam in the Houston area through the Muslim youth.
* To propagate Islam and protect the Ummah of tomorrow

Texas Dawah Conference- Texas Dawah Conference is an organization here in Houston that hasa conference every year. It's not as big as ISNA but here in TDC we talk about topics that can be immediatly put to practice. What makes TDC different is that instead of having voulnteers running the conference, we have The Ansar. The Difference in Ansar and regular ole' volunteers is that Ansar are not only picked on skill, but adab (Islamic Manners). Only the best make the cut and get to help out in the conference.
