The Youth Connection (TYC) is a non-profit agency that successfully works with metro-Detroit youth to get them into a career or college. Our Career Academies provide youth with direction to answer two simple questions: "What do you want to do?" and "How can we help you succeed?" Our supportive programming provides them with the skills and education they need, while our partners provide real-world job experiences.
Every dollar donated helps to connect youth to a brighter future!"
