Volunteer at Al-Razi

Pursuing Excellence, together. Our launch year depends on the people who give their time.

Why volunteer here

Volunteering at Al-Razi is more than helping out — it's Khidmah (service to community) lived in practice. You'll work directly with children, alongside our teachers, in a school built around the values of Taqwa, Ilm, Akhlaq, Ihsan, Tanawwoʿ, and Khidmah itself.

All volunteer roles require a background check before working with students.

Volunteer Roles

Three roles where we need help most for the inaugural 2026–2027 school year.
