The Youth Development Commission is deeply saddened by the passing of Rev. Robert O. Dulin, Jr. who served as Vice-Chair of our board faithfully and fervently. His leadership, wisdom, and commitment to our mission of enhancing the lives of children and families with compassion will impact for a lifetime. For that, we will forever be grateful to the legacy and seeds planted as we continue forward.

While we're having a national conversation about who should take a knee or stand for the anthem, YDC is demanding change and taking a knee for education injustice and inequality in our schools. This includes textbooks, teachers, training, toilet paper, safety and MORE! Our Radio-Thon was beyond raising support dollars but to heightened awareness within our communities and schools. A few snapshots of who joined us in demanding change!

It's so hard to say goodbye! We had 8 AmeriCorps members complete their annual year of service including 3 members who gave us two terms! We couldn't have made the powerful impacts in our communities and schools without you. Our youth are stronger, wiser and college/career ready today because of you. Good luck at your next level challenges. 🌟

Our summer youth workers went through a real life Shark Tank experience the past six weeks with our partner Dream Deferred. They were engaged in leadership and entrepreneurship training which involved developing a business, marketing and product plan. We had some great presentations on display over the weekend at MSU-Detroit Center. Congratulations to all of you on a job well done! Each youth received seed money to jumpstart their project vision.
