This research revealed how the format of optimizing non-formal Islamic education and its synergy with the three centers of Islamic education. Moreover, this study used a descriptive method with a library research approach, in which the research was carried out by reading and conducting a study of some scientific papers related to the problems mentioned. Based on the research result, it was found that in terms of regulation, non-formal education has full support from the Law of the National Education System Number 20 of 2003 Chapter VI Article 26 paragraphs 1 and 3, which stated that the implementation of non-formal education has a function as a substitute, addition, and/or complement to formal education to support lifelong education.
