Kaitlyn Miklovich grew up about 75 miles outside of Detroit in the small town of Clifford, Mich. So when she announced she was going to attend University of Detroit Mercy, it raised some eyebrows.

Miklovich said.“But after a while, my parents came around. When they would visit, we would go on Sunday drives through the city and we were able to see small changes that were having a big impact on the city. Detroit has that drive to become something better than they were before.”

Miklovich wants to be part of that future. She was recently selected to participate Challenge Detroit, and will spend a year helping to revitalize the city with her talents.

She learned about the Challenge Detroit program, which aims to develop diverse, innovative, community-minded leaders from around the city and the country. Through Challenge Detroit, participants use their skills and work in teams to support projects that better Detroit.
