Job Overview
About NPPN
NPPN is dedicated to enhancing the effectiveness of organizations serving youth in the Detroit area, aiming to maximize their influence on young individuals and advocate for equitable access to high-quality youth development opportunities. Our vision is to connect all youth in the Detroit region with exceptional developmental resources that empower them to succeed academically and personally.

NPPN provides support to numerous youth development organizations in Detroit through a comprehensive approach that includes quality enhancement, networking, advocacy, and professional learning, thereby enhancing the skills and capabilities of youth service providers. Our initiatives aim to bolster both individual and collective impacts on youth by equipping providers with essential tools to elevate program quality and achieve measurable outcomes.

Many of our programs are offered at no cost and encompass:
  • Data Measurement Collaboration
  • Professional Growth Opportunities
  • Learning Networks (Data-Driven and Equity-Focused Initiatives for Youth Development)
  • Networking Gatherings
Each initiative is designed to foster growth and improve the positive results of programs in the Detroit area and the youth they serve.
