Review for Beyond Basics, Farmington Hills, MI, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

It is an honor to be associated with Beyond Basics. The impact that their programs have on the lives of at-risk children in the Detroit inner city is astounding! They deliver what they promise; that is, to change the destinies of the children with whom they come in contact. Teaching children to read, then following that up with volunteer mentors who reinforce reading and writing skills truly opens doors to them that were shut prior to that learning experience. Opportunities to expand the worlds of kids who otherwise would never leave their neighborhoods and classroom atmospheres that provide unmatched encouragement and esteem-building activities round out a program that is unmatched in the Detroit area. Beyond Basics: an unqualified homerun for Detroit’s kids, and ultimately, for the future of Detroit!
