College Career & Community Immersion Program (C3)

College, Career, Community Immersion. (C3)  is a week-long, all-inclusive leadership immersion hosted on a college campus, where students. engage directly with Detroit’s top organizations and civic leaders. 

With site visits to places like Michigan Central, Barton Malow, and the Mayor’s Office, C3 offers hands-on learning, mentorship from C-suite executives, and cultural enrichment opportunities.
“C3 shows students what’s possible and how to get there,” said Franklin. “It’s not just about exploring careers—it’s about discovering identity, building networks, and understanding that their voice can influence change.”

Participants leave the program inspired, equipped, and ready to make meaningful contributions in school, work, and life.
