Summer Youth Dialogues (SYD) is an intensive summer fellowship program for University of Michigan students (undergraduate and graduate) to facilitate dialogue among high school age youth in metropolitan Detroit - one of the nation's most segregated metropolitan areas. High school students of African, Asian, European, Latinx, and Middle Eastern descent participate in structured dialogues, tours, retreats, and community projects to challenge discrimination and create change.
