About Us

What is MSS?

Muslim Social Services of Kitchener Waterloo is a Muslim volunteer organization that provides culturally and spiritually sensitive humanitarian and social services to the Muslim and non-Muslim community of the Waterloo region. MSS was started in January 2007, although members of the group have been actively serving the community for many years.

 

Our Goal

MSS aims to foster a healthy environment through community activities and provides various opportunities of learning and personal growth through its educational and outreach programs. One of the main goals of MSS is to create an understanding of Muslims of Canada, break down any stereotypes, and build bridges with other faith communities as well as mainstream social service and community organizations.

 

Our Commitment

MSS offers diversity training workshops, seminars about Islam and Muslims, as well as training workshops for schools administrators, university and college staff, health professionals, police, social workers and other community organizations. Such training workshops help members of organizations develop a keen sense of awareness of Islam devoid of stereotypes and grasp the diversity of Muslims in Canada. It helps them find a way to support their Muslim students, clients or colleagues in a supportive and culturally sensitive manner.
