Every movement begins with small, deliberate steps.

Kawakhaŋ is a Detroit-based nonprofit creating hands-on technical and life-skills training for young people—especially those who’ve had doors closed to them. Our mission is straightforward: to help Detroit’s youth acquire the skills, confidence, and certifications they need to thrive in the rapidly growing electric-vehicle and clean-energy industries.

However, before we can train the next generation, we must first lay the foundation that makes it possible.

We’re raising $5,000 to create our digital home base — a shared workspace where our team can plan lessons, design training modules, form partnerships, and prepare our first grants. These tools will belong to Kawakhaŋ itself, ensuring resources stay with the organization and support every future trainee who walks through our doors.

When you give, you’re not just funding computers.
You’re helping Detroit take one more step toward equitable access to opportunity, education, and sustainable careers.

Every gift matters. Every step counts.
Join us — and help us empower Detroit youth to learn, build, and lead in the industries of the future.
