The best opportunity to serve the community for most folks is to volunteer at their local jail. We are currently serving 4 jail units near Houston and Austin.

Harris County (Houston, TX): 

• We need 24 male volunteers serving at least once a month to ensure our brothers inside can pray Jumah salat. 
• We also need female volunteers to visit the sisters on the female floors more regularly, as they desperately need the companionship of their fellow sisters.
• It is an obligation upon the community (Fard Kifaya) to make sure our brothers can fulfill their weekly fard.
• With the guidance and blessing of a full-time Muslim chaplain working in Harris County Jail, we have all multi-purpose rooms booked across all floors of Harris County Jail reserved for jumah, we just need volunteers.

Fort Bend County Jail (Richmond, TX):

• We need an Islamic Center or individual to sponsor a volunteer to conduct Jumah consistently on Fridays and for Taleem services on Saturdays. 
• Currently Chaplain Ahmet Gunduz serves Fort Bend County Jail once a week.

Travis County (Austin, TX) Jail:

• We need both male and female volunteers in the Austin area to visit the brothers and sisters regularly.
• Our Jail Operations’ Coordinator, Syed Fawad Raza has been working to get a part-time Muslim Chaplain approved but the support of volunteers will make it much easier to support the needs of our members of the ummah on the inside.
