COMMUNITY ROOTS
Our Story
SYC began as a youth-led initiative to help young Muslims navigate careers and entrepreneurship. As the network grew across British Columbia, members asked for a single place to find trusted accountants, doctors, developers, and real estate professionals.
The Community Directory launched as a static, admin-curated listing — simple to operate, fast to browse on mobile, and aligned with how SYC already shares referrals in WhatsApp groups. Today it complements in-person mixers, referral bundles, and the broader SYC newsletter.
