Amanah

Raising the whole child, on purpose.

Every parent wants the same thing: a child who is smart, grounded in faith, and ready for the world. In practice we pull that child in five directions to get there. Amana closes that gap.Every parent wants the same thing: a child who is smart, grounded in faith, and ready for the world. In practice we pull that child in five directions to get there. Kumon for math, the local league for sports, a bounce house for fun, an app for Qur'an. None of those venues share our values, and some quietly work against them.

The questions

Let's be objective

Kumon for math. The local league for sports. A bounce house for fun. An app for Qur'an. None of those venues share our values, and some quietly work against them.Not rhetorical. These are the questions the framework is built to answer.

Is your child growing in confidence, or just growing older?

Are they proud to be Muslim, proud enough to say it out loud?

Would they step forward to lead salah if asked?

How many surahs do they actually understand? Not recite. Understand.

What are they absorbing at every other venue we drop them at?

How much time is left before the foundation sets without us?

The framework

Nineteen points before a child sees it

Every program, no matter how different, passes the same framework before launch. Mothers, coaches and Amana admin design it together, and it is approved to mission standard.Every program, no matter how different, passes the same framework before launch. Mothers, coaches and Amana admin design it together, and it is approved to mission standard; the framework is revisited on a set cadence, never left on autopilot.

Operations

How it runs on the ground

The gym floor, lined for basketball, volleyball and pickleball, with a backboard at each end
Facility is per timeslot, not per program.

The same gym floor is Team Sports one evening, Home Base another, and Pure Fun on the weekend.

One drop-off, one pickup.

A single family check-in point, even when siblings split up. One scan per child in My Amana.

Staffing is a rotation grid.

Program Hands are shared and cross-trained, so one no-show never closes a room.

Ratios are per activity.

The rock wall and the net climb get a dedicated spotter regardless of the room's ratio. First-aid-trained staff every session.

Closeout takes five minutes.

A coach records attendance, the objective, and any incident on a tablet before the room closes, and it feeds the app.

Safety

Who is on the floor

Four things are true of every adult in every room, before a first shift.

Background check

Every adult on the floor, through Checkr. Amana stores only the status and the renewal date, never identity documents.

Islamic knowledge check

Before a volunteer runs a session alone, with the person HIC designates.

Youth safety training

Forty-five minutes, before the first shift. Renewed every season.

First aid and CPR

At least one certified adult in every room, every session.

Our impact

What we will report

Attendance, programs joined, seasons completed, and staff-recorded milestones, from the first session. Never a child score. Families see their own child's Amana Journey in My Amana; the community sees the totals here, each season.Attendance, programs joined, seasons completed, and staff-recorded milestones, from the first session.
