#detroitjit #jit #detroit Huge thanks to @kresgeartsdetroit , the State of Michigan and DEYA: Detroit Excellence in Youth Arts ! ππΎ I'm incredibly grateful to be a 2024 @kresgeartsdetroit recipient. This support has been invaluable to my work. And now, I'm excited to share that my company Jit Masters has been awarded a MiLEAP OST grant from the State of Michigan! This means we can train and employ Detroit youth in the art of jitting, music and more! ππΎ We'll be running a 6-week summer program at Northwest Activities Center as part of the MiLEAP/GDYT Summer Arts Training Programs. Big shout out to Matrix Human Services and all the partners involved in making this happen!
#jitmasters #detroitjit #kresgeartsdetroit #mileap #gdyt #detroityouth #summerprogram #jit Here's why this is extra special: Youth employment: We're providing paid opportunities for Detroit teens (ages 14-17) and young adults (ages 18-24) to learn valuable skills and contribute to their community. Arts education: Jit is a unique and vibrant dance form with deep roots in Detroit. This program will help preserve and pass on this cultural legacy. Community impact: By empowering young people through the arts, we're investing in the future of our city. SUCCESS!!! π
