Our seniors are taking their next steps toward college, trade school, military service, and careers — each pathway different, each journey their own. That’s what growth looks like. Not one destination. Not one definition of success. Just young people stepping boldly into futures they’ve worked hard to build.

At DBG, we believe there isn’t one path to a meaningful life. The goal has always been helping students discover who they are, what they care about, and giving them the support to move toward it with confidence. We’ve watched these students grow over the years, and while this chapter is ending, our commitment isn’t.

Class of 2026, we are so proud of you!

Once DBG family, always DBG family. We can’t wait to see where they go next.

Our 8th graders recently crossed an important milestone at DBG: High School Induction. Not just a ceremony, but a moment that recognized how far they’ve come and the next chapter they’re stepping into.

As students move from middle school into high school, they’re not just changing grades — they’re stepping into new responsibilities, new opportunities, and new versions of themselves. Families, staff, and our village came together to celebrate the growth, hard work, and potential we already see in each of them.

At DBG, we know transitions matter. We don’t just prepare students for the next step academically — we help build the confidence, relationships, and support systems they’ll need to navigate what comes next. Because growth doesn’t happen overnight. It happens through consistency, community, and people who believe in you every step of the way.

High school, here they come. We’ll be right beside them. ❤️

Friday night at DBG is winding down. Students are finishing dinner, saying goodbye, and getting ready to head into their weekends.

What people don’t always see is everything happening around those moments. The meals. The conversations. The rides home. The planning, coordination, and care it takes to make sure students can simply show up and focus on being kids.

At DBG, we believe barriers shouldn’t determine opportunity. So we do whatever it takes — including transportation to and from programming — because consistency matters.

Our $5 campaign isn’t about making one big gift. It’s about what happens when a community decides to show up in small ways together.

Small enough to miss. Big enough to matter.

Detroit, we'll see you May 16 for Game Changers: Coaching Community Day. This is a free event about investing in young people and the mentors who guide them every day. Attendees must register here ➡ https://www.addevent.com/event/wp5vl41rymn7

In partnership with

Less than a cup of coffee.

That’s the ask.

At DBG, small things become big things every day. A meal after school. A ride home. A safe place to land. One more day a student gets the support they need to keep showing up and growing.

$5 may not feel like much on its own, but when a community decides to show up together, it becomes something powerful. If you’ve ever wanted to support DBG but didn’t think a small gift mattered, this is your reminder that it does.
