Empowering African American Teens and Moms in the Metro Detroit Area

In the heart of Detroit, where resilience and community spirit run deep, the Youth Community Agency is making a profound impact on the lives of African American teen moms and low-income families. Our mission is clear: to empower, uplift, and provide opportunities for those who need it the most. Through our comprehensive "Moms & Jobs" initiative, we are not only changing lives but also contributing to the transformation of our beloved city.

Breaking Down Barriers to Success

In Detroit, many African American teen moms and low-income families face formidable challenges. Economic hardships, lack of access to quality education and employment opportunities, and housing instability are just a few of the barriers they encounter daily. These obstacles are not just individual struggles; they are systemic issues that affect the entire community.

Our Impact: Education and Workforce Development

At the core of our mission lies a commitment to education and workforce development. We believe that empowering individuals with knowledge and skills is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty. Our "Moms & Jobs" program provides comprehensive support to participants, including access to educational resources, job training, and career coaching. We equip our moms with the tools they need to pursue their educational goals and secure stable, well-paying jobs.

Support Services that Make a Difference

Education and workforce development are crucial components of our program, but we don't stop there. We understand that our participants often face multifaceted challenges. That's why we offer a range of support services, from childcare assistance to transportation support. By eliminating these barriers, we enable moms to focus on their education and careers with confidence, knowing that their families are taken care of.

Building a Brighter Future

Our impact is evident in the success stories of the moms we serve. We've seen young moms graduate from high school, enroll in college, and secure jobs that provide financial stability for their families. These achievements not only transform individual lives but also contribute to the overall well-being of our community.

By empowering African American teens and moms, we are creating a ripple effect of positive change in the metro Detroit area. As these individuals build better futures for themselves and their families, they also contribute to the growth and vitality of our beloved city. Together, we are forging a brighter, more inclusive Detroit—one where every resident has the opportunity to thrive.
