Caught Up

A mentorship program that inspires, molds, and empowers young men to be productive members of society. Based in Detroit, MI

Caught Up is passionate about transforming the lives of young men from all walks of life, helping them become beacons of hope in their communities. Their programs have served over 300 African-American, Latino, and Caucasian men from low-income families in Detroit, MI.

Caught Up facilitates three programs for young men ages 14-20:

SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE
Hosted at their main facility, this program provides a space for young men to develop life skills and network with positive community role models from various academic industries while enjoying food, fellowship, and sports activities.

PROJECT EMPOWER
This program serves youth at Southeastern High School and Denby High School, consisting of life skills training, college tours, and community service activities.

PROJECT RE-ENTRY
This program helps incarcerated youth prepare for entry back into society. Young men at two local juvenile detention centers get help with job interviewing skills, financial literacy, use of proper professional attire, college preparation, and exposure to healthy living skills.

Caught Up’s mission may be best captured by the following quote:

“When people get CAUGHT UP with that which is right and they are willing to sacrifice for it, there is no stopping short of victory.”
– Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
