YOUTHVILLE, DETROIT

Youthville is a state of the art youth development centre in Detroit, where mentoring schemes facilitate positive and structured development in digital media, arts and technology. Resident Advisor's documentary on Detroit's contemporary scene (linked overleaf) illustrates how DJs and producers within Detroit's electronic music scene - an influential scene that holds global resonance - were keen to foster the next generation of talent as well as providing positive role models to youth in a city where high levels of poverty drive young people into crime.

Mentor

Mentoring schemes foster education for Detroit's youth giving them the skills - both musically and socially - to become mentors themselves. This holds both cultural and social benefits towards Detroit's musical community as well as fostering positive attitudes in young people that benefit the wider community.
