The active programs Eugene built, leads, or co-leads — each operating today across Detroit and the surrounding region.
Each program serves a different community — youth athletes, seniors, students, parents, voters, debaters, future entrepreneurs — and every one of them is connected back to the partner ecosystem Eugene has built.

Eugene's programs share a common operating principle: every event is a partnership engine. A toy drive becomes a partnership with 50 organizations. A debate program becomes a pipeline to HBCUs. A senior fitness class becomes a community of regulars who become advocates.
The result is an ecosystem where one program supports the next — and where Eugene's institutional relationships create gravity that brings new partners in every year.
