Humans of Ypsilanti is a project started at ACCE High School in 2021, where we interview members of our community and amplify their stories through our writing, photography and videography.

I loved hearing Mr. Betancourt’s and Mr. Vidal-Jones’ stories. So inspiring! Nice work Preston!
Preston, I like the way you were able to connect to Pedro and David and encourage them to share things they are excited about–favorite place and most memorable moments.
Great storytelling, I love the geography, social, and environmental themes combined together.
Hi Preston,
I loved the questions you asked and the flow of the interview you conducted. I learned so much from your interviewees and was able to create a personal connection with them.
Thank you for sharing this project in this space and enriching my understanding about YCS members.
I was wondering if you would be interested in expanding this project and involving other younger grades so they learn and build connection with their community?
Thank you for doing this project,
That’s a great idea
Great interview Preston! Wonderful histories and unique ways to connect with the community members
Many thanks
