🌟 A Powerful Ending to an Empowering Summer in Detroit

What an AMAZING way to close out our summer camp in Detroit, Michigan!

Thanks to the generous support of Wayne Metro, Avengers Youth Mentoring Organization was able to provide a transformational summer experience for our youth. Their investment made every lesson, every activity, and every young entrepreneur’s dream possible!

We wrapped up with our Youth Small Business Bazaar, and our kids truly showed out!

They created and ran their own businesses
Sold food, snacks, and so much more
Greeted customers with confidence
Wrote receipts for every sale
Counted money accurately — without calculators!

Many groups made significant profits, and in true leadership form, every single business donated 10% of their earnings back into our organization to keep this work going.

To our incredible parents and families: THANK YOU for showing up, helping, and supporting these young entrepreneurs every step of the way.

While we didn’t get local media coverage, we have an amazing recap video of the entire summer camp along with additional media from the Youth Bazaar — a lasting record of this unforgettable summer!

And to every partner, volunteer, and supporter who helped make this day — and this entire summer — a success: we couldn’t have done it without you.

From Sunnyside to the Summits: A Journey of Faith, Growth, and God’s Glory

An unforgettable wilderness experience that transformed hearts, built brotherhood, and revealed purpose — all the way from Houston to the mountains of Colorado.

From Sunnyside to the Summits: An Unforgettable Journey of Faith and Adventure

From the heart of Sunnyside in Houston, Texas to the breathtaking peaks of Pagosa Springs, Colorado — four youth from the Avengers Youth Mentoring Organization embarked on a life-changing wilderness experience, made possible by the generous support of our incredible partner, E210.

Departing on June 14th, we traveled 19 hours to the Voices of Wilderness Base Camp, where nature, fellowship, and faith met us at every turn. Over the course of the week, our youth embraced the challenge and wonder of the great outdoors — hiking a scenic 3-mile trail to a peaceful waterfall, gathering for meals under the sky, and diving deep into God’s word beside a glowing campfire.

We pitched tents at Poison Park, took on a 5-mile trek to the Continental Divide, and spent each day growing closer to each other and to God. We laughed, prayed, played basketball, shared powerful testimonies — and even buried our phones to be fully present in the moment. One of the most unforgettable highlights came at the hot springs, where one of our youth made the life-changing decision to be baptized — a true and beautiful display of God’s glory.

As we returned to Houston, we carried more than just memories. We brought home a stronger faith, deepened relationships, and a renewed sense of purpose.

A heartfelt thank-you goes to Chris and the E210 team for your vision, leadership, and unwavering support. This journey has left an eternal mark on our hearts.

I am so grateful for

Avengers Mentoring Organization.

Their wonderful programs have always kept my son busy and out of trouble.

-Talibah Dillworth, Detroit, MI

As I reflect on the time I worked with Avengers, one word that comes to mind is "grateful." This organization gives youth the opportunity to experience so many new and fun things that will not only create sentimental memories but will also prepare them for a brighter future.

Luka Griffith, Detroit, MI

Mr. Dean and Avengers Summer Program was a true blessing for my grandsons that were here visiting with me for summer 2021. From the 1srt day until the last day, Mr. Dean and his staff were committed to providing them all with an amazing and unforgettable experience. We look forward to being repeat Avengers!!!
