"The Coleman A. Young Foundation has benefited me by introducing me to networking and professionalism. CAYF means educating yourself by any means necessary, in order to give back to the community and be an exemplary representative of the city of Detroit. CAYF has helped me meet and make friends with people that I previously would have never met. CAYF has also allowed me the opportunity to introduce my step sister and nephew to a group of positive young students doing great things in the city through the PSRP program." - Carlton White, Tennessee State University, 2005

Coleman A. Young Foundation
Coleman A. Young was the Mayor of Detroit for two decades. He established the Coleman A. Young Foundation (CAYF) in 1982. The Mayor left office in 1993. He died four years later. CAYF is a living legacy of the late Mayor's lifetime of work. All of the assets that he earned were left to the Foundation to provide opportunities for future generations in the city that was his life.
Since 1986, the Foundation has awarded more than four million dollars to more than four hundred students.
The mission of CAYF is to develop leadership among youth through college scholarships, mentoring and other supports for personal growth and development.
