Dear Respected Sisters and Brothers of South Florida, as-salaamu ‘alaykum.

It is with great excitement that we welcome the newest addition to the Youth Coalition of South Florida, Cyrus McGoldrick.

We have big plans together and we are excited to have him on board!

Please join us in welcoming Br. Cyrus to the community by joining us at the Islamic Center of Boca Raton (ICBR) this Saturday after maghrib.

Stay tuned for upcoming events and youth nights at our local centers in Palm Beach, Broward, and Miami-Dade Counties.

Brother Cyrus has just moved to the area from New York to serve as the Youth Director for the YCSF and will work with Muslim youth across the tri-county area. He brings years of experience in Islamic work and youth organizing to South Florida after 10 years in New York City and around the country. Since graduating from Columbia University in 2011 he has served in staff, board and consulting capacities with many Islamic human rights and educational organizations including the Council on American Islamic Relations – New York, the Majlis ash-Shura of Metropolitan New York and the National Coalition to Protect Civil Freedoms. He also writes and performs poetry and has an array of artistic talent – his first book, “I of the Garden,” was released this year – and he hosts a weekly radio show, “Muslim State of Mind” broadcast from WBAI 99.5 FM in New York.
