Reuben Gordon Owner
As you may know, The Better Detroit Youth Movement (501c3) and The Better Detroit Brownie Company LLC are always all about:
Teaching middle school, high school, autistic and special needs students the virtues of gratitude, affirmations, mindfulness and empathy (life skills).
Teaching students how to earn money (business skills) and the importance of helping others (blessing skills).
Teaching students how to bake and sell 10 varieties of gourmet brownies that taste as good as they do (baking skills).
Growing a regional youth resource mapping effort to support successes of our youth-serving ecosystem, and so every child knows where to go to grow.
Building our own classroom kitchen in the heart of Detroit for special needs and autistic teens.
When we bring good people together, we grow the better. For the past 20 years, we've been collaborating with our region's youth-serving groups and individuals while inspiring our collective responsibility to help more children succeed in school and thrive in life.
Five young men with special needs between the ages of 11 and 17 are making and baking a Greater Detroit, and our new after-school Brownie Baking & Business Boss Program with one dozen middle school and high school students is filled with enrichment, excitement, passion and purpose. We're launching another BB&BB program with Denby High School students later this year.
The Awesome Team Autism Summer Camp has grown from eight students last year to 22 students this year, and after more than two years in development, this year's summer camp students baked a dark cocoa vegan brownie that tastes like love.
The Better Detroit Brownie Company "fun-raising" program is an effective way to help non-profits, community orgs and student groups grow the good for a collective impact.
The Better Detroit Brownie Beast is a new, bigger-than-life mascot of The Better Detroit Youth Movement and a brand ambassador for The Better Detroit Brownie Company. He's all and always about letting our children know how special they are and how much they're loved, and that they are here for a reason -- to help others and better the world so they feel better about themselves and the world.
Here's some media coverage of all the good growing on:
An article in Uniquely You, a magazine uplifting our special needs community:
A recent Channel 62 news segment:
There's also good growing with the youth movement, including the adopt-a-park program and the youth financial enrichment initiative.
And . . . we recently obtained a vendor agreement from Meijer! Now we're ready to scale production to service the largest regional retailer in the Midwest.
We would love to grow more good with you.
We are here for and with our children to grow a Greater Detroit and better future for us all.
Together, let's make and bake a Greater Detroit our children deserve.
