March Mania '26 was an incredible day at University Prep Art & Design High School!

Big congratulations to our champions: JFK (1st), The Parkers (2nd), BJ (3rd), and Rookie Contract Challenge winner Jovan Philson.

Every year we aim higher. The Rookie Contract Challenge? That was us delivering on that promise.

None of this happens without our incredible partners. THANK YOU!

January is about setting the tone for the year ahead.
We are helping students take small, confident steps with simple money habits and routines that support both financial and mental wellness.

We are also excited to be part of Michigan’s Out-of-School Time grant, expanding digital literacy after school in Detroit. Thank you to our December volunteers who gave over 110 hours to help make it all happen.

This is your sign to be outside Saturday night at Little Caesars Arena for Pistons vs Clippers with a 7:30 PM tipoff.

You pull up for the game, stay after to shoot a free throw on the actual court, and know your ticket is supporting the Becoming Young Adults program while you are at it.

Bring your crew. Bring the noise. Run the city with us.
