American Muslim Peace Organization (AMPO)
Building community, fostering faith, empowering futures
Our Story
Founded in 2013 in an 800 sq. ft. space in Mundelein, AMPO began with a vision and the support of dedicated local families.
Growing Together — We expanded to 3,500 sq. ft. as our community flourished, but soon outgrew our space and parking capacity.
Looking Forward — We’ve now acquired 19.5 acres at Midlothian and Gilmer Roads to build our permanent Islamic center, serving families across ten surrounding suburbs.
What We Do
Daily & Weekly Services — We offer regular prayer services with a vibrant community of over 200 attendees at Friday prayers and over 125 during Ramadan.
Education & Programs — Our weekend Islamic school serves over 90 students, complemented by youth programs, sisters’ study groups, and Arabic language classes.
Our Vision
Creating a sustainable and inclusive community space that:
- Enriches lives and fosters spiritual growth
- Strengthens bonds within Southern Lake County’s Muslim community
- Builds interfaith harmony and community development
- Empowers future generations of American Muslims
Conveniently Located
Our facility is centrally located within a 5-mile radius, serving the heart of the northwestern suburbs.
