482Forward is a citywide education organizing network in Detroit. We are neighborhood organizations, parents, and youth committed to ensuring that all Detroit children have access to an excellent education, regardless of their race or socioeconomic status. Together, we are building power to make systemic change and win educational justice for our communities.
482Forward works with existing neighborhood-based organizations to help them build an education organizing program. The organizations might be a social service delivery agency, a youth development group, or a neighborhood association - what matters is that they have strong relationships with residents and families and they want to make a difference in student success. We partner with existing neighborhood-based organizations because we can't improve schools without thinking about the whole neighborhood, and these groups are already doing that.
Fixing schools and increasing academic success is difficult and complicated. By joining 482Forward, small organizations don't have to figure it out by themselves. If you are a neighborhood organization who wants to join 482Forward, please contact us. Click on the links below for detailed information about how we work.
