Our mission

CLASS ACT DETROIT equips underserved scholars with the resources needed to revolutionize their lives and community via the arts, entrepreneurship, technology, and leadership.

We are on a mission to produce programs that combat 'classroom colonialism' and aid, not hinder, scholars in our nation's urban core. Our priorities are children, working families, and developing more equitable neighborhoods.

What we do

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that utilizes the elements of hip-hop to reach and teach adolescents in Detroit.

Young aspiring creatives demand contemporary training and direct instruction with an edge. Class Act Detroit renders that solution by pairing students with an art-based enrichment program that is culturally relevant and lead by industry professionals.

As such, student exploration, empowerment, and agency are integral components of our program.
