Mission Statement:

To build a better future for the youth of Regina by providing a safe, dynamic, and transformative space for holistic development. We aim to cultivate a culture of excellence, resilience, and co-creative leadership rooted in faith and service.

At RYLI, young people are seen, valued, and equipped to navigate the complexities of today’s world — grounded in their heritage, guided by purpose, and committed to justice.

About RYLI

The Regina Youth Leadership Institute is an emerging initiative based in Regina, Saskatchewan—designed to address one of the most urgent needs facing our communities today: the holistic development of young leaders.

What would it take to create a space that truly attends to the full well-being of our youth— body, heart, and soul? A space that doesn’t just keep them busy, but imbues them with a sense of purpose?

Why Regina?

Regina offers what many larger cities can’t:

space to build, room to breathe, and a community ready to grow.

Affordable real estate and operating costs make it ideal to develop a physical space at a scale and quality that would be prohibitive in larger cities like Toronto or Vancouver

The lack of existing infrastructure for Muslim youth means the institute fills a clear gap and can make a visible, measurable impact.

What works in a smaller, more manageable environment like Regina can be documented, refined, and translated into scalable models for larger, more complex urban centres.
