GDYT Experiences Detroit
Through the many ups and downs that Detroit and its communities have endured, the one thing that has stayed constant is the ability of Detroiters to find creative solutions to the challenges they face, discover joy in the simple things, and work together to have a positive impact on where they live.
We are excited to be partnering with Grow Detroit’s Young Talent (GDYT), Connect Detroit, and Bank of America for the first-ever GDYT Experiences Detroit Powered by Bank of America launching July-August 2021. In this engaging, interactive virtual tour series, over 5,000 Detroit youth will get to go beyond the headlines and learn about a side of Detroit that is often unknown even by its own residents.
From unique small businesses, art galleries, specialty restaurants, and shops to world-renowned architecture and cultural institutions, historic neighborhoods, and unparalleled public spaces, Detroit is full of unique assets that make it an amazing place to call home. Through 25 one-hour-long tours covering 5 separate tour themes, this series will also highlight the amazing entrepreneurs, artists, community leaders, and inspirational youth that are having a positive impact on Detroit every day.
