Candice Stokes

My name is Candice Stokes and I am a native of Detroit, Michigan.  I graduated from Oakland  University  with a Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work and am currently completing a Master of  Arts Degree in Youth  Development through Michigan State University.  In 2006, I began my  career path in human service and  social work.  During that time, my personal time was spent  structuring an after school program and a  potential non-profit organization.  
 In 2012, I piloted an after school program for pre-teen girls teaching life skills at an elementary  school on the Eastside of Detroit.  After a fun and successful run, I focused on my career leading  me to become a supervisor of a program at a Child and Family Agency that keeps children out  of foster care and keeps families together safely.  I have two contractual positions that allow me to continue to provide service to the community.  My continued efforts are in relaunching the after school program under the umbrella of a non-profit, launching a lifestyle online magazine for young adult women and beginning a self-love campaign through survival kits provided to young girls at schools and churches.  I have a team of professional young women who are linking with these initiatives to see them through and look forward to seeing these initiatives impact young girls and women in their unique ways.
