Our Partners and Collaborators

We are endlessly grateful to our partnerships and collaborations that have helped boost our mission and contributed to numerous opportunities for our students that we could not achieve alone. By combining forces with industry leaders in youth development such as Ford Philanthropy and the United States Tennis Association,  we harness resources, expertise, and innovation to inspire the next generation of thinkers and problem solvers. Join us in making a lasting impact and shaping a brighter future for students in STEM.

Ford Philanthropy

Accelerate4KIDS has proudly collaborated with Ford Philanthropy for over a decade, creating impactful enrichment programs that foster learning and growth for young people. Together, they have provided after-school tutoring, engaging summer camps, and the exciting D-Hack (Detroit Hackathon) for high school students. This partnership not only empowers youth with essential skills but also inspires them to explore their potential in and innovation. Through their combined efforts, they continue to make a significant difference in the lives of Detroit youth.

DAPCEP

For over a decade, we have proudly partnered with DAPCEP (Detroit Area Pre-College Engineering Program) to provide engaging STEM education and programs on Saturdays. Our curriculum includes computer science courses featuring Scratch, JavaScript, and Python, alongside game design using Minecraft Server and Roblox Studio. Students also explore 3D printing with TinkerCAD, robotics and drones, comic book design, and entrepreneurship. Together, we are inspiring the next generation of innovators and problem solvers.

DPSCD

We take pride in our partnership with the Detroit Public Schools Community District (DPSCD) to enhance educational opportunities for students. Through expanded programs, we’ve introduced engaging coding and entrepreneurship classes that ignite creativity and innovation during the school day. Our after-school initiatives, including tutoring, coding clubs, and drone teams, offer students the chance to explore their passions and develop new skills. During the summer, our Tennis & Tech and Summer in The D STEM Camps create a vibrant environment for learning, where students discover the excitement of STEM while having fun.

United States Tennis Association

Working alongside the USTA Midwest as a Community Tennis Association for the Southeast Michigan Region is an exhilarating experience! We're dedicated to expanding the game of tennis across our community for all ages, making it accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Through our innovative Tennis & Tech™ program, we’re not only promoting physical activity but also encouraging STEM education, creating a fun and interactive environment where tennis meets technology. Join us to inspire and engage our community through the tennis!
