Community Involvement

Being a good corporate citizen is a priority and we constantly strive to make the communities we live and work in stronger and more vibrant. Through educational and technological initiatives we have worked to bolster student success and community involvement.

Diversified Chemical Technologies, Inc. & Coat-It, Inc. as one of its six subsidiaries are heavily involved in the Detroit community on several projects, especially those that involve children. Among the most important are:

• The Math Corps – a joint project between the Detroit Board of Education and Wayne State University. Here, our R&D staff volunteers to mentor public school students between the 5th and 7th grades who wish to improve their math skills.
• Adopt-A-School: DCT, Inc. has adopted Glaser Elementary School to mentor students, supplement school supplies and act as role models.
• Internships: Each summer, we have high school and college students interning at our subsidiaries. Some work in the laboratories with our chemists while others work on business projects with middle and upper management.

We also support organizations through monetary sponsorships and contributions. Some of the organizations include:

• The Detroit Science Center (Renovation Project)
• The Board of Education/WSU Math Corps
• Boy Scouts of America
• The Detroit Institute of Arts
• Big Brothers Big Sisters
