this is heroes' alliance
The goal of Heroes’ Alliance is to build a community of resourced and empowered individuals who see and use education as a path to success. We accomplish this through a variety of avenues with a foundational understanding that the destiny of our city and its residents is in the collective hands of those who call Detroit home.
We hope that something on our site inspires you to get involved or stay involved and help make a meaningful impact that will resonate for generations to come!

ACTIVISM
The true intent of education has less to do with what we pour into our children, and more to do with what we help to draw out of them. There is a genius that resides within each one of them. And their success in life hinges largely on how well we help them tap into the strengths and talents that are already there.

OUR INITIATIVES
the genius within CLC
This STEM program was created with the understanding that children will learn and perform best in environments where they feel both supported and celebrated. It is through this framework that a child’s excitement for and interest in learning will be sparked, and every facet of their academic life will be positively influenced.
Parental boot-camp
Parental Boot-Camp is an annual event designed to empower parents and students in the local community with educational and family resources that promote success during the upcoming school year.
young urban intellectual Summit
This annual forum is focused on STEM exposure for middle and high school students. In addition to hands-on STEM engagement, students dialogue with professionals about college readiness and career opportunities in STEM fields. This forum serves as an initial seed that is planted to bring about awareness and interest.
EXPEDITION UNKNOWN
Research has proven that much of what we know has to do with what we are exposed to, and knowledge is reinforced through tangible experiences. The purpose of this program is to broaden each child’s understanding of the world and the endless possibilities that exist for them.
The Seven Villages of Detroit
Imagination, by its very nature, is defined by one’s ability to see beyond what is evident and to have vision for what is yet to materialize. It is the underpinning of all innovation, and it is the means through which we progress beyond our current state of being. If a new, more equitable Detroit is going to materialize, we must first have the eyes to envision it.

We are soliciting your help as we create life-changing opportunities for Detroit youth!
We realize that it will take the effort of the community at large to see this to fruition. Join us in advocating the brightest future for our children and our city!

Testimonials
“The program has allowed [Brian] to build confidence in himself and his ability to obtain knowledge, and to be able to use it to communicate with others.”
Cherryl Knowles, Parent
“As a student going into a mentoring role, I really get to use the experience that I gained while I was a student. . . and fill in the learning gaps that I remember I had.”
Naje Safford, Student Mentor
“Heroes’ Alliance changed the whole trajectory of my academic life. Prior to the program, I thought I was going to major in music in college. But this program turned me on to engineering. I’m now going into my sophomore year as an engineering student at Stanford University. “
Alexia White, Former Student
“This program helps to set the foundation to get [students] to where they
want to be in life. “
