Programs
Give your child the confidence to express themselves with this public speaking program by Olive Tree Institute, an eight-session series for ages 9 to 12. Children move through discovering their identity, exploring their dreams, and uncovering what OTI calls their superpower, the intersection of passion, talent, and skill, before setting personal goals, working through the fear of speaking itself, and learning from role models they admire. Through fun games, storytelling, and hands-on activities woven with dua, hadith, and Quranic reflection, children build clear expression, active listening, and confident body language, week by week, in front of a small, supportive group.
Register NowOur flagship 7-week public speaking program for ages 10 to 12 and 13 to 16, closing with a family Showcase Night where each child delivers a speech built from their own journey. This is not a performance class, children do not learn scripts or tricks. Over seven weeks they explore the emotional foundations of confident communication, self-awareness, self-regulation, empathy, and connection, grounded in Islamic values and evidence-based emotional intelligence research. Every session integrates prophetic guidance and Quranic principles alongside six core public speaking skills, building a voice rooted in identity, purpose, and character. Full for this cohort, message us to hear about the next one.
Join the WaitlistOur newest flagship, a 7-week program for ages 14 to 16 closing with Showcase Night, built around Surah Ibrahim 14:24: a good tree has firm roots and branches that reach into the sky with no ceiling. Roots is identity, who you are before anyone hands you a title. Branches is vision, dreaming at full size. Fruit is a real project, actually built. Harvest is standing up and saying it out loud to your own community. Each week surfaces a belief and tests it against prophetic tradition and a real Canadian teen scenario. Teens leave with a vision document, a built thing, and a delivered speech, not a certificate of attendance.
A 6-week entrepreneurship and life skills program for ages 10 to 14, built on a simple belief: young people don't need to wait until adulthood to become founders. Each child begins with self-knowledge, understanding their natural founder type before any business content is introduced, then moves through what a business actually is, honest earning, real customer interviews, a full business model, brand, and selling as an act of service. Faith is woven through, not layered on top: founders learn that the Prophet, peace be upon him, was known as Al-Amin, the trustworthy one, because of how he traded. The program closes with Demo Day, pitching to a live audience of family and friends, and walking away with a portfolio, a founder certificate, and a business with a clear next step.
Ask About the Next CohortA full-day workshop for Muslim women designed to help them reclaim the voice they were always permitted to use. Rooted in fitra, the innate God-given nature every person is born with, the day moves through seven guided sessions blending theological teaching, honest reflection, and embodied voice practice. Participants leave having spoken something true out loud in a room full of women who were listening.
