Virtual Programs
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected lives and businesses around the world and The Yunion is no exception. As our nation has come to a near stand-still, we cannot lose site of our most precious commodity- our young people. The Yunion is determined to cross the digital divide to reach children and families where they are and continue to provide mentoring, counseling, life skills, and prevention services. We are happy to announce that the Yunion has launched our S.W.A.G., Pitch U, Standing in the Gap, STEM Drone, and Citi Camp mentoring programs virtually. This week we went live with our first wave of virtual programming and we will remain committed to servicing youth and families of Metro Detroit virtually until the pandemic is over. Be on the lookout for an open application to get your child involved in our Virtual Enrichment Academy soon! Please continue to support our efforts and visit theyunion.org for more information.
Please stay home and stay safe! We will all get through this together! Our prayers and love go out to all of our essential workers on the front lines!.
