Organization Name: Escuela Avancemos! Academy
Organization Overview: Bilingual education in Spanish and English. A charter school of the Detroit Public Schools.
The mission of Escuela Avancemos Academy is to prepare, educate, and inspire every child for lifelong success.
Escuela Avancemos is focused on the creation of educational experiences for applied learning within our school classrooms while, at the same time, exposing students to the world of college and career experiences outside of the traditional school environment. Therefore, Escuela Avancemos will be both a community center for teaching and learning (with students and families coming to the school for experiential learning) and a central “home-base” from which the students “go out” and experience the community through business and organizational partnerships with planned curriculum.

Organization Name: Finnish American Heritage Center
Organization Overview: Since its grand opening in 1990, Finlandia University's Finnish American Heritage Center has become a community focal point and a national center, offering a multitude of exhibits, lectures, plays, musical programs and community events each year. The building is a popular stop for tourists.
Finnish immigrants dreamed of an institution that would provide religious education, perpetuate the Finnish language and preserve their experience in North America. Suomi College (now Finlandia University) built in 1896, is the realization of that dream, and the only remaining North American institution of higher learning founded by Finnish Americans.
Amerikansuomalaisen Perinnekeskuksen avajaiset pidettiin vuoden 1990 FinnFestin yhteydessä. Perinnekeskus on osa Finlandia University'iä, jonka monet tuntevat vanhalla nimellään: Suomi College. Perustamisestaan lähtien perinnekeskuksen tiloissa on ollut auditorio, taidegalleria ja Amerikansuomalainen Historiallinen Arkisto. Perinnekeskus on samalla paikallinen- että kansallinen keskus, jossa pidetään taidenäyttelyitä, teatteri- ja musiikkiohjelmia, luentotilaisuuksia sekä lukuisia yhteisöllisiä tapahtumia. Rakennus on myös suosittu pysähtymispaikka turisteille ja koululaisille.
Tultuaan Yhdysvaltoihin suomalaiset siirtolaiset unelmoivat omasta instituutiosta, joka tarjoaisi uskonnollista opetusta, pitäisi suomen kieltä ja kulttuuria yllä ja säilyttäisi amerikansuomalaisten omaa perinnettä. Suomi College (nykyään Finlandia University), joka perustettiin vuonna 1896, oli noiden unelmien todellistuma. Se on ainoa amerikansuomalaisten perustama korkeakoulu Yhdysvalloissa.
Perinnekeskuksessa sijaitsevat Amerikansuomalainen Historiallinen Arkisto, "The Finnish American Reporter" -sanomalehti, taidegalleria ja auditorio ovat amerikansuomalaisen yhteisön linkki kulttuuriinsa ja Suomeen. Perinnekeskuksen asiakkaat ovat lähinnä opiskelijoita, eri alojen tutkijoita, sukututkijoita ja arvovieraita. Lukuisiin perinnekeskuksessa vierailleisiin arvovieraisiin ovat kuuluneet
