Our Youth Education program will help young people strengthen their connection to their heritage while preparing for the future. It will focus on four areas:Arabic/Darija Language

Social Services — Launching January 2027
Program Lead: Hayat Hilali

Finding the right resources can make life’s challenges easier to navigate. This program will offer nonfinancial guidance and resource referrals to Moroccan community members, including newcomers settling in Minnesota, people navigating health concerns, and those seeking employment or other support.

Our goal is to help community members understand their options and connect with resources that may meet their needs.

Soccer Program — Starting November 2026
Program Lead: Nour-Eddine Aboussir

Let’s get moving and bring our community together through soccer! This program will offer training and games that encourage fitness, teamwork, and connection.

We will begin with adult soccer in November while building the coaching team and structure needed to welcome youth players in January 2027.

Help Us Bring These Programs to Life!

We’re looking for:

  • Teachers and assistant teachers for Youth Education.

  • Volunteers with social services experience to help connect members with guidance and resources.

  • Soccer coaches and training assistants for our adult and youth activities.

 Whether you can contribute regularly or lend a hand occasionally, your time and experience can make a difference. Please complete the volunteer interest form under the program you would like to support.

We’ll share registration details and additional program information as it becomes available.

These programs are an exciting next step for MACOOM, and we look forward to building them with you. Together, we can preserve our heritage, support one another, and create opportunities for the next generation.
