After a whirlwind of a summer concluding with the Detroit Lions X Detroit Food Academy Cooking Competition, we have rolled out our programming at 15 cohorts this Fall. While our partnerships with long-standing partners continue to thrive, we have launched cohorts at new sites, such as the Boggs School (5th-8th grade), Fischer Upper Magnet Academy housed at the Ford Resource and Economic Center (FREC), and Hamtramck High School. We also launched an exciting new cohort in partnership with Quicken Loans’ Day of Innovation that exposes 2000+ 6th grade students from Detroit Public Schools (in groups of 25-50 and over 36 days) to 45 minutes of high-impact, hands-on DFA programming! Another exciting new cohort, launched in partnership with Racquet Up, starts this month. We’ll be working with 90 students between 5th and 12th grade and gearing the programming more toward nutrition and wellness. Stay tuned! In the meantime, please see our growing list of cohorts below:
