Healthy Empowered Youth

The Healthy Empowered Youth (HEY) Detroit project is a summer-long youth enrichment program that aims to ready students for a successful start to fall by engaging youth and adolescents living within the Cody-Rouge neighborhood in health-related activities involving, but not limited to, physical activity, nutritional lessons, and gardening for healthy development and learning. Each week, JSCDC will host kid’s activities at our summer Farmer’s Market, provide healthy lifestyle lessons and games at Meet Up and Eat Up “drop-off” sites in the neighborhood, and engage youth and adolescents in hands-on experiences in gardening where youth grow, market, and sell produce to develop entrepreneurial skills.
