Mission & Vision
MIST inspires high school students to collaborate and compete, develop creative skills, and learn from professionals, while educating them about Islam and Muslims.
We envision a vibrant community of creativity, knowledge, and mutual respect.
Our Values
Community
We foster sisterhood and brotherhood; we network and organize a meeting of the minds; we bridge various differences that may otherwise divide us.
Excellence
We work hard and do more than what is required of us; we help each other problem solve, express ourselves, and reach for the stars with confidence.
Fun
We enjoy what we do and look forward to the MIST part of our day.
Knowledge
We encourage everyone to educate themselves in the arts, sciences, humanities, and religion; we share talents and interests with each other.
Integrity
We are inspired by Islamic traditions of respect, fairness, dignity, and honesty.
Our Programming
Across U.S. & Canada
We offer tournaments for high school students in the United States and Canada to encourage self discovery, knowledge related to Islam and/or Muslims, creativity, communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving, and interpersonal skills.
encourage Islamic Principles
MIST exposes participants to aspects of Muslim customs and practices, but does not enforce religious adherence. We encourage attitudes of respect in relation to religious or philosophical disagreement.
No Discrimination
We are open to individuals of any religion, race, color, gender, sex, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, pregnancy, national origin, ancestry, and socio-economic background.
