The Yuinon (pronounced “union”) Inc. is an innovative, faith-based, holistic youth development organization founded in Detroit in 2003.  Our youth development philosophy is rooted in relationship. More so than a program, a lasting relationship by a caring adult with a youth has proven to be the most effective way to truly encourage and support them. This approach has enabled us to maintain contact with youth that we have engaged in various capacities including: prevention programs, conferences, seminars, youth groups, and recreational outreach. We have provided such services for thousands of youth since our inception through partnerships with schools, community groups, juvenile detention centers, and churches.  We are excited that we can now count the U.S. Department of Education as a partner willing to be a resource that enables us to support three hundred 4th-8th graders in Detroit with mentors who will help give them a foundation for success!
