Detroit Phoenix Elite 360
History
The 21st centry brought significant changes to industrialization and urbanization. These changes have affected the positive productivity of our youth. In today's volatile and changing times the attitudes of the pervading culture and specfically our youth, have placed it's priorities on materialism, physical appearances, wealth at any cost, instant gradification, and the loss in value of life. That is why Detroit Phoenix Elite Youth Sports (DPE) was created. We provide direction, hope, and opportunities for our youth to learn and experience something different while offering an outlet for them to enjoy being young and having fun. Sheila D. Holmes founder and president of Detroit Phoenix Elite has over 30 years of working with the community and other non-profit organizations focused on making a positive impact on peoples lives. In June of 2015 Sheila founded DPE and in October of 2015 DPE was granted its 501 c3 status as a non-profit organzation. DPE has already found community partners to help with its goal and vision of making a difference in young peoples lives.
