THE LATEST

We had the best time enjoying the beautiful resource that is Detroit’s Belle Isle Conservancy and interviewing Meagan Elliott on what she thinks makes Detroit’s public spaces unique and necessary for Detroiters to thrive.

We loved hosting @wandee.dy‘s internship through @globaltiesdetroit! Her contributions to our programming this winter were invaluable and we are so grateful for her. Thank you, Vandy!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for DYMS 2025!

We’re incredibly proud of our youth-led DYMS team for bringing this powerful event to life. Education = mobility—and when we come together, we don’t just create opportunities, we build a movement.

#YouthTank #DYMS

Detroit Mayor Mary Sheffield will be at the Detroit Youth Mobility Summit. Will you?

April 18th, 10AM - 2:30PM, @ 950 Selden St., Detroit, MI 48202

We are excited to highlight some of our speakers that will be joining us at the 3rd annual DYMS, including YouthTank student leaders and youth leaders from across the city. This year we are focused on education because…. education is mobility, mobility is freedom, and Detroit youth are leading the way!

Such inspiring gatherings at YouthTank! 💫

YouthTank interns shined presenting their startup projects to YT stakeholders. The energy in the room was full of pride and possibility.

Shoutout to POGO (Politics On The Go), JustAir, JLGP (Joe Louis Greenway Partnership), and our newest interns for sharing their work and adding so much heart to the showcase. ✨

We wrapped the evening with a workshop where YouthTank champions workshopped ideas for our School for Citybuilding and Entrepreneurship.

Celebrating momentum. Celebrating growth. Celebrating youth voices. 💛

YouthTank interns had an amazing time on their tour of @stockx to see their Verification Center and Headquarters. They got to try their hand at verification and learn how the business went from an idea to a cornerstone of the fashion industry. Thank you Philip and the @stockxteam for making this experience so special💙
