A Team Approach
Collective Action
Power is present with every human being. When we put our heads together to combine our individual power, we can multiply our successes. That is why ESDCD takes the team approach. We are building teams at 5 schools in Detroit that will use their power to sharpen their skills, broaden their reach and keep everyone informed about how to be present at school and for school to be a place that makes you welcome and safe.
