Building Resources In Detroit, Giving Expanded Services (B.R.I.D.G.E.S) Interest Form for Summer 2022
The Detroit Branch NAACP along with members of the law enforcement, civic, business, philanthropic and faith based communities came together to help push Detroit forward. This initial (2010) meeting took place at Martin Luther King Jr. Senior High School; the Building Resources In Detroit, Giving Expanded Service (B.R.I.D.G.E.S) initiative was born. This community discussion served as the catalyst to develop solutions right now for the community, policing and youth violence prevention for young people between the ages of 14-24. To participate in the program young people must either be a Detroit resident or a DPSCD student. The six weeks of summer employment, done in partnership with Grow Detroit Young Talent (GDYT) includes workshops, and professional development sessions.
