Hiba Ahmed

I am a young community leader passionate about creating meaningful opportunities for youth to learn, grow, and connect. I believe young people deserve spaces where they can explore their interests, develop confidence, and discover their potential beyond the digital world. Through Side Quest Club, I hope to bring people together through creativity and practical life skills while encouraging healthier habits and stronger community connections. My goal is to make learning enjoyable, accessible, and meaningful, one side quest at a time.

Side Quest Club: Offline Adventures Start Here

Side Quest Club is a youth-focused initiative that makes offline activities exciting, accessible, and rewarding. Through cooking, sewing, and crocheting workshops, the project gives young people opportunities to explore new interests, learn practical life skills, and build friendships. By turning everyday hobbies into opportunities for growth and connection, Side Quest Club encourages youth to unplug, get creative, and discover what they can accomplish with their own hands. Offline adventures start here.

      How the project works

      Side Quest Club runs hands-on workshops where youth learn cooking, sewing, and crocheting in a welcoming group setting. Over a series of sessions, participants practise new skills, complete creative projects, and connect with peers while exploring rewarding activities away from their screens.

      Project Impact

      Side Quest Club empowers youth to spend more time engaging in creative, offline activities while developing skills they can use throughout their lives. Through hands-on learning, participants build confidence, independence, patience, and social connections while discovering healthy alternatives to excessive screen time and strengthening their sense of community.

      Project Mission

      Side Quest Club helps youth discover meaningful hobbies and develop practical life skills through cooking, sewing, and crocheting. Its mission is to create welcoming spaces where young people can unplug from their screens, explore their creativity, build confidence, and form meaningful connections through hands-on experiences and shared learning.
