Throughout the program, they've explored what it truly means to lead with confidence, integrity, and purpose. Through interactive activities, meaningful discussions, and team-building challenges, students have been developing the character, mindset, and practical skills needed to make a positive impact in their schools, families, team

Our Makerspace turned into a design studio as our students got a hands on, behind-the-scenes look at the summer program t-shirt making process. From watching the design come to life to learning how each shirt is created, they experienced the creativity, technology, and teamwork that go into making something they can proudly wear. Hands-on experiences like these help spark curiosity, encourage self-expression, and show our youth that learning can happen in exciting and creative ways. 🎨👕 #saydetro

None of this would have been possible without the dedication, passion,

#TBT when our fashion students had the incredible opportunity to visit Pensole Lewis College of Business & Design in downtown Detroit for a hands-on campus experience during Women’s History Month ✨ From exploring the design studios to learning about the legacies of groundbreaking women like Ruth E. Carter, April Walker, and the founder of Lewis College of Business (Violet T. Lewis), our girls were able to see what’s possible when creativity meets purpose. Experiences like this go beyond the clas

Some people serve meals. Others change lives. 🍽️💙 Mrs. Falls started by simply showing up for our students-but one small conversation changed everything. "I've never had a salad before." In that moment, she realized it wasn't just about feeding children... it was about nourishing them, teaching them, and opening their world to new possibilities. Today, her legacy lives on in every meal, every lesson, and every child who walks through our doors. Thank you to the A.A. Van Elslander Foundation for
