Student Sponsorship Opportunities

A Detroit Economic Club sponsorship is a compelling value proposition with commitment levels to fit any budget. A majority of sponsorship fees are tax-deductible and the numerous tangibles include memberships, meeting tickets, student tickets and logo exposure. 

Benefits Include: 

SCHOOL TABLE

Individuals or organizations may sponsor a student table at a DEC meeting for a tax-deductible donation of $550.

For their contribution, sponsors receive recognition at the meeting and the opportunity to take a photo with the speaker and the students. The photo is distributed to the sponsor and schools to be published in their community outreach publications.


To sponsor a school please email Matt Valant at mvalant@econclub.org

CAREER READINESS ACADEMY

The DEC’s Career Readiness Academy (CRA) is a six-month program designed to teach career readiness skills to high school students throughout S.E. Michigan. 

 

During this journey, the same team of DEC Young Leaders members and students connect to explore topics like future hot jobs, career economics, networking & interview skills, and how to market yourself. 

 

This experience not only provides the opportunity for more personalized attention throughout sessions but also forges important mentor-mentee relationships.

 

Please consider sponsoring one of our participating high schools for $1,000, which is tax-deductible.

Your contribution will support students as they learn career navigation, exploration and preparation skills.

In addition, sponsors are invited to participate as guests at one of their sponsored schools’ sessions and receive one (1) ticket to “graduation” held at a spring 2024 regular DEC meeting.

If interested in sponsoring a participating high school, please contact Matt Valant at mvalant@econclub.org.
