About D.E.T.T.O.U.R
Who We Are
Developing Excellence Through Teaching Our Youth Resilience
D.E.T.T.O.U.R is a Black, Veteran, Woman-led nonprofit based in St. Paul, Minnesota, dedicated to helping youth and families find strength, healing, and direction—no matter where life has taken them. We serve youth ages 11–14 and their caregivers through culturally grounded, trauma-informed programs that build resilience, restore hope, and inspire leadership.
Our Mission
Replace Trauma with Empowerment to Reach Excellence.
Because no matter your path, it’s never too late to D.E.T.T.O.U.R.
Through weekly workshops, family support sessions, and community events, we teach young people that their voice matters, their story has power, and their future is theirs to create. Whether we’re unpacking emotions, exploring identity, or just laughing over a snack break—every moment is a step toward healing.
Our Vision
A world where every young person has the tools to heal, the support to grow, and the courage to lead.
