American Muslim Peace Organization (ampo)
ABOUT US
Founded in 2013, AMPO (American Muslim Peace Organization) began in an 800 sq. ft. space in unincorporated Mundelein, supported by a few dedicated local families. As the Muslim population in the area grew, AMPO expanded to a 3,500 sq. ft. facility within the same complex. However, increased demand soon exceeded the space and parking capacity. With continued community support, AMPO has now acquired 19.5 acres of land just a quarter mile away to build a larger, permanent Islamic center. Located at Midlothian and Gilmer Roads, AMPO serves families across ten surrounding suburbs and aims to become a central hub for spiritual, educational, and community development.
Our vision
To create a sustainable and inclusive community space that enriches lives, fosters spiritual growth, and strengthens social bonds within the Muslim community of Southern Lake County. We aspire to establish a vibrant Islamic center that serves as a cornerstone for community development, interfaith harmony, and the empowerment of future generations of American Muslims.
