Detroit Future Youth are fundraising to support youth presence at the Allied Media Conference. The fundraising campaign is completely youth led and youth driven, from the campaign strategy to the video development. Check it out and support!
What does a youth led movement in Detroit look like? How can you support that? Detroit Future Youth
We need your support to send a delegation of 60 youth and their adult allies from the DFY network to participate in the 2012 Allied Media Conference this June. The AMC is a dynamic three-day conference focusing on creating a more just and creative world by sharing tools and strategies that transform communities through media-based organizing. By attending we will gain additional training in media skills, connect with a national youth movement, and build stronger relationships with each other. The AMC will also be a platform to launch our curriculum mixtape that represents the media and workshops developed by youth from all 12 DFY organizations.
WHAT WE NEED TO GET THERE & WHAT YOU GET BY SUPPORTING
By donating you will be helping to raise $5000 that will go towards sending 60 youth leaders to attend the AMC, developing their leadership.

By donating you will be a catalyst for the message of Detroit youth getting heard by those attending the AMC and beyond. You will be supporting the DFY curriculum mixtape launch, that is not just the media and workshops created by these youth, but a glimpse into what our city and world could be like if youth were at the center of its transformation.
