Vanessa Samuelson, McGregor Fund Director of Learning & Reporting, recently spoke at the 2024 Youth Development Resource Center – Detroit Unify to Liberate Summit. Marcia Gardner, Grants Manager & Executive and Board Administrator for the McGregor Fund, also supported the event as a volunteer.
This gathering created a space to elevate youth voices and highlight the essential role out-of-school providers play in Detroit. It included panel and session discussions as well as networking opportunities.
The “Collaborative Pathways: Shaping the Future of Detroit’s Youth Development Ecosystem” discussion welcomed youth, provider, and funder voices, including Vanessa.
