Giant Step Teen Conference

We unite high school students from across metro Detroit so they get to know and understand each other. Teens attend from dozens of different schools, neighborhoods, religions, ethnicities and backgrounds. They enter as strangers and -- after a day of energetic discussions and exercises -- they leave as friends. Help us bring teens together for our 40th year! Every Giant Step Conference is offered free to all students and the counselors who bring them. Give the gift of understanding. Support Giant Step today!


Achieve your charitable goals and create your WSU legacy with a gift in your estate plan.

Wayne State faculty and staff can give via payroll deduction here.
