Our President’s Youth Council
The insights of Detroit youth guide our priorities and strategies. While we solicit youth input in many ways, our President’s Youth Council is a formal structure to do so. The youth council meets regularly with The Skillman Foundation team to discuss issues that are important to them and advise how the Foundation and its partners can better support the needs and aspirations of Detroit youth.
