Welcome!
The Aya House Summer Discovery Program is a full-day, in-person summer experience designed for students entering 8th–10th grade (minimum age 13) who live in Wayne, Oakland or Macomb County. The program will take place Monday-Friday from 8 AM - 4:30 PM and will run July 13th - August 21st. Daily programs will take place at Aya House, located at 2055 Gratiot Ave, Detroit MI 48207.
This program combines structured academic learning, hands-on enrichment, financial literacy, and digital skill development in a supportive and culturally affirming environment that exposes them to career paths in social impact. Youth will engage in learning sessions, enrichment activities, supervised programming, and daily meals — all at no cost to families. We will also provide meals to participants and their families as well as transportation assistance to youth who need help getting to Aya House.
We are actively enrolling students until April 1, 2026. Space is limited to 100 students and pre-enrollment is required.
If you are the guardian or supportive adult for multiple, eligible students you may use this form to enroll them. All students must reside at the same address from July 13-August 21, 2026 to be enrolled on the same form. A separate enrollment form is required for youth residing at a different address.If you are not prepared to submit all details required for enrollment, you may save your draft and return to this form when you can complete all fields.
