    The 84 Ambassadors program empowers 84 youth ages 16 to 25 from Michigan's 83 counties and the City of Detroit to serve as Ambassadors for their communities. These Ambassadors will use digital platforms to share information about their counties and attend an annual conference to meet other Ambassadors. In the process, they’ll learn about social and cultural issues, and work on goals to break down prejudices and promote cultural understanding.

Child & Youth Programs

We believe that every young person has the potential to make a positive impact on the world, and we are committed to helping them unlock their full potential. Through our programs and services, we encourage young people to explore their interests, develop their skills, and build meaningful relationships with others. We strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where every child feels valued and supported, and where they can discover their strengths and overcome challenges. We believe that by nurturing the curiosity, imagination, and individuality of each child, we can help create a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
