Winning Futures addresses the alarming number of Metro Detroit students who graduate from high school lacking the skills, knowledge, or support needed to be successful. This is accomplished though a seven-year mentoring program that gets students excited about their futures, teaches them critical life and job readiness skills, provides career mentoring support, and awards college and trade school scholarships. Participating students attend schools in Detroit, Harper Woods, Pontiac, Sterling Heights, and Warren. Since 1994 Winning Futures has impacted more than 50,000 students and awarded $2.1 million in scholarships.
