Metro Detroit Youth Clubs provide quality programs serving youth that need us most. Our promise as an organization is to provide a safe and accessible space where transformation can occur. Realizing our mission requires a thoughtful approach on how to maximize impact, which is best supported through evidence-based programming, research, and mission-focused operations. By analyzing the meaningful data tied to our youth, we can more effectively support the Club, strategic vision, and continue to cement the mission of the organization in the communities we serve.

Where the organization goes tomorrow will continue to focus on where it is needed most, and which programs are offered will address the gaps offered in today’s youth programming. As an organization focusing on only serving youth, our charge is to open doors and provide opportunities for all of our Club members. Our research agenda describes our overall approach to research and examines ways the organization can utilize empirical data to better fulfill its mission. We believe in our mission, and we execute that mission by making sure we provide for the best Club experience possible. Driven by mission, backed by data, and focused on youth.
