The D.A.V.I.D. (Developing Accountability, Vision, Integrity, and Discipline) Leadership Academy is designed to foster the holistic growth of young men into tomorrow's leaders . Through authentic learning experiences that encourage character development, community awareness and individual responsibility, we strive to challenge young men mentally, physically and emotionally.



The GEAR UP Saturday Leadership program gathered students from five Michigan middle schools in Wayne Westland, Ypsilanti, and Willow Run during the Spring of 2008.
