YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

COPO SONYC educators at Razi School leading after-school programming with dedication.

COPO/SONYC - Razi School

Empowering youth through education, creativity, and community service.

COPO’s SONYC after-school program at Razi School (funded by the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development) supports students in grades 6–8 with a dynamic mix of academic, cultural, and social learning.

We offer:

    •  Academic enrichment & tutoring 
    •  Arts, culture, and creative expression 
  • Social-emotional development & conflict resolution 
  • Physical education & wellness activities 
  • Programs tailored for cultural and religious sensitivity 

Our goal is to build leadership, confidence, and connection — especially for Muslim youth from diverse backgrounds. The program is open to students of all faiths and ethnicities.

Hope Against Hate Campaign

Families and law enforcement united.

COPO’s Campaign brings together youth, families, and civic leaders to foster inclusion, celebrate diversity, and speak out against hate crimes.

COPO leads a series of educational workshops to confront hate in our community.
We’ve launched programs in middle and high schools to help students identify what hate can look like—and what actions they can take to safely report it.

COPO also collaborates with agencies like the FBI, NYPD, and local government officials to build understanding of the MASA (Muslim, Arab, South Asian) communities we serve across Midwood, Brooklyn.
