The Detroit College Access Network (DCAN) is a collaborative network between local schools, organizations, and the community. The mission of the network is to promote higher education in Detroit and make a college degree or credential a reality for students in Detroit.

 

Specifically, DCAN serves as the citywide coordinating body for the college access and enrollment strategies in Detroit. We are a network of organizations – bigger than any one program or initiative –  using collective impact to align and connect existing programs, schools, businesses and community resources to improve college enrollment and graduation rates for all Detroit students.
