Skillman Grant brings MDYUC to Southwest Detroit's Latino Family Services
Posted by on: Popular for it's fabulous eateries, southwest Detroit's Mexicantown district is now home to a powerful project proven to benefit youth. Thanks to the Skillman Foundation's "Good Neighborhoods Initiative" (GNI) grant program, Latino Family Services (LFS) will host the award-winning "Youth Under Construction" program.
The program is designed to build confidence and provide performing arts instruction for students at various skill levels. About a dozen youth from ages 10-15 will took part in a live presentation for the southwest Detroit community on Tuesday, December 19. The newly trained Youth Under Construction performers sang, danced, rapped and demonstrated their skills. The event was open to the public. Also included were presentations from other performing groups working at LFS and a special Holiday Celebration segment. For more info about LFS, call 313-841-7380.
