All Hands In

Our Team

"We do Purpose"

Detroiters love and know their neighborhoods the best. It’s through their collective histories and dreams for the future where JEI’s team channels our talents to connect individual power to create positive change.

Every JEI team member is hard-wired to serving community. Our individual values of fairness and equity drive our desire to build better places that meet the needs of Detroiters. This is what gets us out of bed every morning, what brings joy to our lives.

We are grateful for Detroit’s east side neighborhoods working side-by-side with us. When a Detroit neighborhood succeeds, the city succeeds.
