Youth Enrichment
Detroit Grand Prix’s ongoing partnership with the Detroit Grand Prix and Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan, (BGCSM) we support year-round youth engagement and career development through paid internships.
Through this program, students gain behind-the-scenes access, participate in events like the Detroit Auto Show, and take part in immersive experiences leading up to and during race weekend.
Career Development
The Correspondent Industry Club gives BGCSM students exposure to careers in broadcast journalism, social media, public relations, and marketing through motorsports. Students receive hands-on training and mentorship from industry professionals, including experts from Fox 2 Detroit. The program helps participants build skills and explore career paths in media arts and communications.
Arts, Culture & Entrepreneurship
Our Community Partners receive the following recognition
- Branded viewing platform to provide free viewing to the community throughout race weekend
- Branded trackside mural in partnership with the Boys & Girls Club of Southeastern Michigan’s digital design program.
Small Business empowerment
Our Community Partners receive logo recognition at the entrance of Small Business Straightaway. Located on Woodward Avenue and open to the public on race weekend, the Small Business Straightaway gives locally owned Detroit businesses a free opportunity to showcase their brands to a large audience.
