We partner with people to transform education systems, nurturing the brilliance and power of Detroit youth.
关于我们
At The Skillman Foundation, our grantmaking and advocacy is designed for, and shaped by, the rising Generation Z and their demand for an equitable education system – one that produces career-ready skills and rewards independent, creative thinkers who solve old problems and forge new worlds. We are in the process of developing new, community-informed strategies with Detroiters. Follow updates here and by visiting www.skillman.org. As we seek to highlight multiple perspectives about education systems change, views and opinions expressed on this page are those of the authors and not necessarily the official position of The Skillman Foundation. Classroom rules apply: Any bullying of individuals will be removed from comments.
