Southfield (CW50) - The Detroit Youth Choir (DYC) is a nonprofit that has serviced young people throughout the Detroit Metropolitan area by enriching their lives through music, dance, and performing arts. The Detroit Youth Choir teaches and develops students through music education and brings them experiences that they can carry throughout the rest of their lives.
