About D4Y

Detroit4Youth is a collaborative coalition working towards equitable outcomes for children, families, and community through aligned, coordinated efforts.

Our goal is to build and strengthen relationships with leaders and organizations to enhance existing pathways and develop new connections and partnerships for the benefit of our city’s youth and families. To that end, we will be the coordinating body to provide collaborative space and resources to address the needs of our youth and their caregivers. Whether focusing on streamlining access to programs and services or developing policy recommendations to elected officials, Detroit4Youth will drive collective impact for a better today and brighter tomorrow for Detroit’s youth, birth to 24 years of age, and their caregivers. 

Youth Driven Focus Areas

We must create a city for the youth, by the youth and provide seamless support for all aspects of their lives. Drawing from the Detroit Youth Action Plan, Detroit4Youth will support a steering committee and various action teams to address the needs and growth areas for collaboration as identified by youth and their caregivers.
