This Giving Tuesday, we are proud to launch our Keep YouthTank Moving recurring donation campaign. We invite you to join our community of monthly supporters to tell Detroit youth: “I believe in you, I’m invested in your future, and I want to see you continue to thrive.”

Our students are designing projects in mobility, technology, entrepreneurship, and civic innovation—and we are committed to ensuring that Detroit’s young leaders can access these opportunities.

Thank you for fueling our interns’ future! - link in bio!
