Programs serve UAW-DC workers' children in Detroit and Toledo

Through Communities in Schools of Detroit, Inc., the NTC has developed five before- and after-school programs in the City of Detroit. The program continues to allow the children of UAW-represented DaimlerChrysler workers to engage in diverse activities that will help them develop academic and personal skills as well as the knowledge to succeed in school and in life.

Communities in Schools is a non-profit group that marshals community resources to support schools, developed the 5-year-old initiative for the Alliance, a consortium consisting of the UAW-DaimlerChrysler National Training Center and joint programs at UAW-Ford and UAW-GM.

The programs operate every school day, from dismissal until at least 6 p.m., throughout the school year. There is no cost to eligible workers. Enrollment begins in late summer. Further information may be obtained by calling Communities in Schools, 313.571.3400.

The NTC also has contracted with the YMCA at 17 locations in the Toledo, Ohio, area for before- and after-school programs. The YMCA also provides bus transportation to the children of UAW-represented DaimlerChrysler workers who participate in the programs.
