CORE VALUES & PROGRAMS
Call it our slogan, maxim, a cultural value - at YouthTank Detroit, it's ride or die. As co-founders, board members, program designers, interns, teachers, learners, and fundraisers - young entrepreneurs are always in YouthTank's driver’s seat.
FOR YOUTH BY YOUTH
WORK TO LEARN
It's how we do school at YouthTank Detroit because young Detroit residents face significant obstacles to complete their degree. Rather than ask high school students to learn now so they can work later, we make the real world the classroom.
CREATE TO CONNECT
Our Entrepreneurial Process creates and derives from relationships that foster Care, Joy and Opportunity, while transcending divisions between different people, places, economic sectors, organizations and ideas.
At YouthTank, we are very entrepreneurial about trying new ways to widen access for the city's young talent to gain the experience + skills + networks + self-realization to be the change they want to see in their own lives and in the world.
