& TIP Wayne State partner to bring youth together with state and local decision makers:
KidSpeak® is a signature event of Michigan’s Children. Since 1993, Michigan’s Children has served as a statewide independent and nonpartisan voice working to ensure that public policies are made in the best interest of children and youth from cradle to career. The KidSpeak® forum gives young people ages 16-24 an opportunity to have a voice in the public policy debate by speaking directly to federal, state and local decision makers about barriers that impede their successful transition from high school to higher education and employment
KiDSpeak 2016
The 2016 kidSpeak was a great Success. See TIP and youth featured in the Detroit News:
