Young Professionals of DCJP
Positively effecting and impacting the youth of Detroit is of great value to Detroit Community Justice Partnership. DCJP, formerly known as Northwest Detroit Weed and Seed, developed a strong connection with Detroit Omega Foundation, Inc.’s Detroit Youth Summer Employment Program commonly referenced as DYSEP. This is an eight-week employment opportunity offered to high school students during their summer break. The DYSEP participants experience a mini-job fair, meet prospective employers, and interview with job site supervisors prior to being placed at a respective site. As a strong advocate of DYSEP, DCJP has actively shown support and participation to this initiative. In 2004 and 2007 Detroit Community Justice Partnership provided career exploration opportunities to two high school interns.
Since DCJP’s (Northwest Detroit Weed and Seed’s) inception, several high school and college students have interned with the organization, and contributed their talents to the important work of serving the community. It is a pleasure to work with these future leaders of Detroit, as every work experience helps to build and strengthen their career paths.
Thank you to all who have allowed DCJP the opportunity to become one of your employment experiences!
