The EZC Connect App is your one stop shop for resources in your community! It was developed by the Empowerment Zone Coalition to connect youth living on the East Side (48213, 48214, 48215, 48224) of Detroit to resources and information directly around them. Included in the app in is the information our youth need to steer clear of drugs and alcohol, maintain their mental health and wellness, avoid the pitfalls of problem gambling and more.
