📚👕 SPONSOR SHOUTOUT: COMCAST! 👕📚

Today, we’re showing some BIG love to our Kloset Sponsor, Comcast! 💜💚

Through the Konnection Kloset, we work to remove everyday barriers to school attendance by making sure students have access to essentials like clothing, shoes, hygiene products, school supplies, and other resources they need to show up feeling confident and ready to learn.

Comcast’s support helps us continue that work while making our 4th Annual Back to School Klap-In an unforgettable experience for Detroit students.

THANK YOU, COMCAST, for investing in our young people and helping us make sure students have what they need to start the school year strong! 👏🏾

We can’t wait to KLAP IT UP with you on August 31! 🎉

More Than a Moment. A Movement. 💜💚

We’re kicking off our Back to School Klap-In Sponsor Shoutouts by recognizing our Presenting Sponsor, Amazon! 💜💚

Amazon’s support is helping us bring the 4th Annual Back to School Klap-In to life and create an unforgettable first-day-of-school experience for Detroit students.

Partnerships like this allow us to surround our young people with the encouragement, resources, and community support they deserve as they walk into a brand-new school year.

THANK YOU, AMAZON, for investing in our young people and standing with The Konnection as we remind students that their community is behind them every step of the way! 👏🏾

We can’t wait to KLAP IT UP with you on August 31! 🎉

Our Kamp Paint Party gave kiddos the freedom to create, express themselves, and care for their mental well-being—one brushstroke at a time. 💜🎨

Kreativity. Konfidence. Konnection.

Thank you to the Detroit Economic Club and Enbridge for providing our youth with the opportunity to attend DEC Presents: A Conversation with Senator Elissa Slotkin.

Students had the chance to meet Senator Slotkin during a special meet-and-greet, sharpen their networking skills with local business leaders, and learn about a variety of careers and industries.

Experiences like these help our youth build confidence, connections, and a vision for their future.

Looking for an amazing company or organization to partner with us for the kickoff week of our 2026 Summer Kamp! ☀️✈️

From June 29–July 1, (for an hour) we’re looking for a team to help us create high-energy, interactive experiences for 35–45 Detroit youth through:
• Team building activities
• Icebreakers & games
• Leadership and confidence-building activities
• Fun engagement that helps students build relationships and start summer strong

The Konnection serves youth through mentorship, academic support, exposure opportunities, and relationship-centered programming designed to increase school connectedness and improve attendance outcomes.

This is a great opportunity for a company team looking to volunteer, engage employees, and make a meaningful impact with Detroit youth.

If your company may be interested in partnering with us, please comment below or email [email protected]💙

Family engagement matters. 💙

Our Konnection Family Bowling Night was filled with laughter, connection, and good vibes! 🎳

We know that when families are engaged, students tend to be more present, konnected, and excited about school. Creating opportunities for families to build community with one another is an important part of the work we do at The Konnection.

Shoutout to our families who came out and made the night special. ❤️

Grateful for partners who don’t just write checks…..they show up.

For the past two years, Turner Construction Company has been a true champion for our kiddos! They recently delivered a check directly to our kiddos, a powerful reminder that their dreams and futures are worth investing in.

From mentorship to career exploration to unforgettable experiences like visiting their Manhattan headquarters this past summer, Turner continues to pour into our students in ways that go far beyond funding.

When young people see professionals who believe in them, it changes what they believe is possible. Thank you, Carmen Gaines, Alec Serfozo and Turner Construction, for being part of the village. 💜
