The Grub Club Mentoring Program was launched in January of 2025 to serve male youth, ages 13-17, residing in Detroit. In our first year, we met with 15 mentees on a monthly basis to introduce them to new skills and experiences supporting growth in areas of communication and etiquette, financial literacy, mentoring, and entrepreneurial readiness. With the support of local restaurants sponsors, our youth received dining experiences at the following:

Ferlitos Family Diner - Grosse Pointe, MI
Zestia Greek Street Food - Grosse Pointe, MI
Jacoby German Biergarten - Detroit, MI
Gilbert's Lodge - St. Clair Shores, MI
Crazy Gringo Mexican Cantina - Clinton Township, MI

Dinners sponsored by private donors:

Red Lobster - Madison Heights, MI
Detroit Athletic Club, The Gallery & The Fresco - Detroit, MI

In 2026, we would love to introduce the youth to more mentorship, knowledge, experiences, and role models! We would love to grow our Grub Club community, and we would like for you to be a part of it!
