DETROIT - Detroit ministers
have committed over 100 jobs for
students this summer. The campaign
is part of the Detroit Compact, a
youth education and job opportunity
progmm. -
The Detroit Ministerial Alliance
Advisory Council started the jobs
campaign two years ago to offset
high unemployment among Detroit
'teens.
"The church has always taken the
lead in our community," Mary
Dismuke, associate director of the
Detroit Compact, said last week,
"and the Detroit Compact will be
doing a disservice not to include our
ministers (in its efforts)."
"It's very difficult to finance, but
it gives us the opportunity to help
young people grow," said Rev.
Frederick Moore, Sr. from People's
United Methodist Church. Last year,
local businesses assisted the church
by contributing funds to the
campaign. Their contributions
helped pay students' salaries.
REV. ROBERT Dulin, Jr. of the
Metropolitan Church of God
believes that providing work for
young people is a community
responsibill ty.
"If we don't give these kids
something to do, we make them
more vulnerable to participating in
criminal activity," he said. "Work is
what builds character and discipline.
"This is our third year
participating," Dulin added. "We
have employed two students per year
at the church to do custodial and
lawn work and for office help. The
students also work with our summer
'program, where they assist with
younger children, assist teachers or
serve as chaperones on trips. Most of
the Compact kids have not bad ctual

Fifty churches that had hired
students last summer rehired
students for this summer. This year,
additional churches are expected to
