'Bridging 8 Mile' Initiative
Seeks City, Suburban Links
The Association for Youth
Empowerment (AYE), a nonprofit
organization dedicated to bring-
ing transformational programs to
schools and communities in south-
east Michigan, announces the launch
of the Bridging 8 Mile initiative to
transform the way people relate to
one another in the region.
On July 23 and 24, groups of
everyday people, youth, commu-
nity leaders, politicians and clergy
will participate in two Community
Challenge Day events designed to
bridge Detroit and its surrounding
suburbs, cities and towns. Challenge
Day is an award-winning experien-
tial program that has been featured
on Oprah, MTV's If You Really Knew
Me and Tom Brokaw's Bridging the
Divide program.
Registration for the Bridging 8

Mile Community Challenge Day
events is open to youth and adults
16 and older. Southeast Michigan
community leaders are encouraged
to attend. Suggested tuition is $50
per person based on ability to pay;
however, several scholarships are
available.
On Saturday, July 23, the event
runs 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Boys
and Girls Club of South Oakland
County, 1545 E. Lincoln, Royal Oak.
On Sunday, July 24, the event is 8:30
a.m.-4 p.m. at YouthVille Detroit,
7375 Woodward, Detroit.
Bridging 8 Mile was founded on
the belief that when people unite for
the greater good, positive change is
inevitable. Its ultimate goal is to con-
nect communities, inspire compas-
sion and take action.
