Did you see the national news coverage we received in November on CBS? This awesome segment allowed us to shine a spotlight on the incredible impact Opportunity Hubs continue to make throughout Detroit.

This video highlights the incredible transformations your generosity makes possible– such as Ke’Von’s story which was featured in the segment:

Ke’Von looks forward to spending time at the Durfee Innovation Society every day. He attends school just next door to the DIS and often walks over with friends to attend his favorite after-school programs such as robotics, violin, lacrosse, mentoring, and tutoring. Ke’Von’s grandmother and Durfee community member, Ms. Deborah Nobles, has enrolled him in various programs, stating, “After virtual schooling for so long (during the pandemic) and not being able to be with his friends, the DIS has given Ke’Von his joy of life back.”

Through DIS afterschool programs, Ke’Von has developed a special love for robotics and has received multiple awards for his efforts. He is also excelling in school, receiving certificates of achievement in the areas of math, social studies, language arts, speech and attendance.

A cornerstone of our mission is our Opportunity Hubs—community spaces designed to foster impact and connection. These hubs are more than just buildings; they are vibrant communities ensuring:

• students perform at or above grade level in math & reading
• families have access to essential health & wellness services
• community members obtain liveable-wage jobs & achieve economic self-sufficiency

These hubs are the heartbeat of revitalized neighborhoods, bridging gaps and unlocking potential. Your support directly benefits expanding and enhancing these critical programs.
