Student Advocacy Center's Story Soiree

SAC proudly opened our Detroit office in 2014 with one full-time staff to address the staggering numbers of youth expelled, suspended and pushed out of school. We have helped hundreds of Wayne County students get back in school. Today, we have 4 full-time staff and the needs remain high. Please join us to support this critical work.

Our Story Soiree will be an evening of mingling, storytelling and interactive art at the historic Kresge Mansion in Detroit to support our powerful work keeping students in school in Wayne County.
