WXYZ-TV Detroit’s Carolyn Clifford recently covered a heartwarming and powerful graduation event at the American International Academy (AIA) in Inkster, Michigan. This year’s ceremony featured the awarding of the inaugural scholarship created by Growth Works in memory of a student’s brother, whose life was tragically cut short by gun violence in 2022. A big shout out to Darryl Woods who has been instrumental in the creation of the mentoring program to combat gun violence and unite the community.
The scholarship serves as both a tribute and a call to action, aiming to support youth pursuing their dreams while raising awareness about the devastating impact of gun violence.
Nick Griswold Growth Works CEO says, “Growth Works is proud to partner with AIA to offer a robust mentoring program designed to combat gun violence and empower youth. Together, we are committed to transforming lives and strengthening our community through positive guidance, education, and support.”
