25 Years of Youth Voice

Neutral Zone is celebrating our 25th anniversary throughout 2023! Founded in 1998, Neutral Zone has been a hub of youth-driven programs in downtown Ann Arbor for 25 years. And that’s worth celebrating - big time. So we’re digging through the archives to find our best stories and reaching out to our outstanding alumni teens, staff, and supporters. Join us to spend 2023 shining a spotlight on everything that got NZ where we are today and build a vision of where we are going in our future.

Check out this amazing 12-minute video created by filmmaker Toko Shiiki along with Donald Harrison to celebrate Neutral Zone’s 25th anniversary

Thank you! For making our 25th Anniversary Street party such a success this past October. It was a truly wonderful day connecting with so many current and alumni teens, staff, board members and supporters.
