Education nonprofits 482Forward and the Skillman Foundation are looking for stories about education in Detroit.
The Detroit Education Narrative Collective is a collaboration between the two organizations focused on using the stories of students, parents and educators to shape a positive narrative they hope will be inspirational and transformational for K-12 education in the city.
