Alumni Students 98% Graduation Rate My short and long term goals for DYC is to get a grant to help further our program, and also to obtain a permanet rehearsal space preferably a small building to run our operations for our youth. If God opens a door for us to get our own building, I feel it will aid in our company becoming more effective for the youth in our community. Also it allow us to move and grow to the next level. Talk about traveling with the group. How often does the group get to travel. Discuss the audition process and upcoming opportunities to audition. Under my direction the youth have t r a v e l e d t o C h i c a g o , To r o n t o , Memphis, Arkansas, Flint, MI & of coarse around our Detroit Community at large. DYC travels 1-2 time a year depending on funding with the group, and also it depends on how well the parents fundraise during the year. The best way to Audition for DYC is apply online on our website www.dycyouth.org or just simply give us a call to schedule an audition date @ 313.587.6088. Audition for our group are year round, there is no cut off time, but we usually audition youth at the beginning of each season August & December. Travelling with the children is a very positive experience for our staff and student. My joy is to see the childern have fun. I love being a positive role model to my student. Sometimes I’m the Mother, Father, Brother, Teacher etc. In a childs life. How can parents discuss getting their teens involved, what’s the fee for summer programs and the like?
