Class instructors are West Chester Police officers
A program offered by the West Chester Police Department expands on the 2 hour SMART Self-Defense class. This class is being offered to women 16 years and older.

There is a focus on rape prevention, personal protection and self-awareness.

Spots are limited. This is a very physical course so please wear athletic attire.
If you sign-up and are not able to attend, please be courteous and remove your name or call 513-759-7260 to have your name removed. This opens your slot to allow others who would like to attend the class to register.

Islamic Center In The News
|
|
|
Every community has a narra
tive. Either that community controls the narrative or the narrative cont
rols the community. Now more than ever the American Muslim community has to take control of the narrative. This can only be achieved if as a community we are building bridges and inroads with media. Media outlets want to cover stories and do pieces that people are interested in. They want viewers, readers, comments, and discussions. It is critical that as a community we are more visible and more vocal in the media.
We have been blessed for wide and positive coverage of the Center. When there is positive coverage we must all give feedback and acknowledge and appreciate the work of the media. Please take a few minutes to review the media links and give positive feedback where you feel comfortable.
