Metro Detroit Youth Clubs serve over 2,400 Club members in Metro Detroit. At MDYC, our North Star is our youth. The 9 Core Values presented at the bottom of this page summarize the intention behind our mission and promise as a Club. We pride ourselves and work hard to lead with these values each day.
The mission of the Club is to empower youth to reach their full potential through safe, accessible, and inclusive experiences that open doors to a bright future, enabling every Club member to graduate from high school with a plan for college or career, contribute to their community and live a healthy life.
Building on 65 years of serving Metro Detroit youth, we are guided by our mission-focused, evidence-based programs focusing on: literacy, mental health services, mentoring, workforce development, and play opportunities in health and fitness.
In addition to our mission, we hold the following core values to be as important and defining to our organization.
