Throughout our many years with the sport of figure skating, Charlie and I have come to value the lessons the sport teaches its participants both on the ice and off.While the occasional fall is as inevitable in our sport as it is in life, the girls of Figure Skating in Detroit will learn that its picking ones self back up that really counts. As a youth development program, I truly believe that FSD will have a positive and lasting impact on the young women of Detroit.White, a Michigan native, is excited about the role FSD can play in Detroits revival.Detroit has been on the comeback trail for some time now, and perhaps nothing exemplifies this more than the introduction of Figure Skating in Detroit, White says. We have seen firsthand the wonders the program has led to in changing lives in Harlem, and I cant wait to see the powerful positive changes it can bring to the young women in the city of Detroit.The program is designed to empower participants through comprehensive academics and education emphasizing STEM curriculum; healthy lifestyle resources; entrepreneurship; leadership and social skills training; and instruction on critical thinking and problem solving.Figure Skating in Detroit is designed to help young girls build a foundation on ice . a place and a program where young women can realize their full potential through access to information, resources and experiences that may otherwise be out of reach, Williams says. This is a youth development opportunity for Detroits young women, wrapped around the fun, artistry and discipline of figure skating.In its inaugural year, FSD plans to serve 300 Detroit girls ages 6 to 15 through special community workshops, summer camps, skating shows and events.
