We are so grateful to the Skillman Foundation for awarding Redemption a $10,000 grant to support our youth programs in Detroit. This funding helps us continue creating real opportunities, real change, and real hope for our young people. Thank you for believing in our mission and the future we’re building together.

Through our ‘A Day in the Life’ Mentorship Program, we bring in mentors from real career fields chosen by the youth themselves to meet with them face to face inside the facility.

These young men and women may be locked up, but they haven’t stopped dreaming. And now, they’re speaking directly with people doing the work they hope to do one day. Politicians, Doctors, Fire Chiefs, Lawyers, Entrepreneurs, Artists, and more.
These mentors will continue walking with them even after release. When you meet a kid where they are and stay in their life beyond the walls everything can change.

Spent time with 10 amazing young men (ages 16–19) at the Methodist Children’s Home Society Independent Living Program in Detroit. We laughed, connected, and started an intro session to CPR and AED use.

The TV wasn’t working, so I couldn’t show the official American Heart Association videos but we still made it count. Because they’re in foster care, I couldn’t show their faces, but the energy and willingness to learn were powerful.

I’ll be back in two weeks to continue building with them. Thank you to everyone who donated your support made it possible for Redemption to provide all the CPR equipment!

We did it! Thanks to your generous support, we raised the funds needed to purchase CPR equipment for our HeartSaver classes at the Wayne County Juvenile Detention Facility here in Detroit. The equipment arrived today, and we’re ready to start teaching life-saving skills to incarcerated youth—equipping them to save lives and prepare for brighter futures. Thank you to everyone who cared enough to give!
