Green Team
 

Muslim Green Team is a campaign of the Service Corps department of the Muslim American Society (MAS). MAS believes that living a “greener” lifestyle is not only healthier and socially responsible, but an essential and mandatory component of a Muslim’s life.

 Mission Health
  This project was started because there is a tremendous need for facilitating access to affordable health care.With the multitude of health care programs, complicated eligibility requirements, and intimidating forms, our first goal became to help families access existing programs and resources by becoming an enrollment entity licensed by the state of California. We truly believe that health care is a right regardless of race, gender, religion or any other characteristic.
