My name is Ebony Tyson and I am honored to be a part of the Friends of the Children-Detroit team as a Professional Mentor. As a native Detroiter, I have always been passionate about empowering our youth and helping them realize their potential and gifts. I recently completed two years of U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer Service in Eswatini, Africa as a Youth Development Volunteer because of my passion for youth. I am a graduate of North Carolina A&T State University and hold a bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice with a minor in Psychology.
