Session Description:

Founded in 1997 in Southwest Detroit, the vision of the Detroit Hispanic Development Corporation (DHDC) is to create a stable and safe community where youth and families have quality opportunities for self-empowerment, education, and personal wealth. DHDC engages in community organizing and advocacy and provides youth development, social entrepreneurship, parenting, community violence interruption, and adult services. They work with newer immigrants as well as second-, third-, and fourth-generation Latinx individuals in their increasingly diverse community, deploying a model of anchoring direct service provision with base- and power-building.
