#DetroitYouthWorks

Mayor Mike Duggan announced in January that he would be recreating the Grow Detroit's Young Talent program in order to give over 5,000 of Detroit's youth jobs for the summer. In order to pull this off, Duggan had to accept funding from anonymous donors to recreate the program entirely so that they would have enough resources to support 5,000+ kids. Duggan had to find more employers willing to host groups of kids for the summer. He agreed to match every dollar paid up to $1,000 according to a program participant. Grow Detroit’s Young Talent is a great way to keep our youth out of trouble.
