Taproots Earns Grant Award from The Skillman Foundation

Taproots at Camp Walden is honored to receive a $7,500 grant from The Skillman Foundation in Detroit to help grow our Mini-Week Program! A voice for children since 1960, The Skillman Foundation partners with people to transform education systems, nurturing the brilliance and power of Detroit youth. It has granted over $730-million and has served as a vocal advocate to strengthen K-12 education, afterschool programming, child-centered neighborhoods, youth and community leadership, and racial equity and justice. It is in the process of developing a new strategic framework, co-designed with Detroit youth and their champions. Find more information at www.skillman.org.
