A little about us
The Young Educators Alliance (YEA) is a small group of young adults (aged 14-24) who come together to identify issues in their environment and work collectively on solutions, using their creativity and personal insight. YEA advocates for healthy environments in Detroit in a way that fosters leadership and holistic development. Young people learn to identify injustices, place them in a historical context, and propose alternatives that involve community input, community organizing, and/or advocacy. The program aims to build a “pipeline for community activism” in which young people come to see themselves as community activists and learn to network and engage with existing communities of activists.
YEA meets every Tuesday and Thursday from 4:30-6:30pm during the academic year (October-June) at the Cass Corridor Commons, located at 4605 Cass Avenue, Detroit, MI 48201.
YEA is a program of the East Michigan Environmental Action Council (EMEAC).
