Chris’s sincere quest as a mentor and pillar of the community is unmatched and understands that YIP is one of the most unique and promising opportunities our youth have to redirect their lives and refocus their energies for positive change.
The Michigan YIP has been a mainstay in the greater Detroit community since 2015 and is now set to resume its mission to develop our Detroit inner city youth to be leaders and contributors to the community at large.
