Relax 9
Community-centered economic development initiatives.
Relax 9 is a Detroit-based social enterprise that equips women and underrepresented individuals with industry certifications, workforce training, and career pathways in construction and project management.
Serving residents across the city and surrounding communities, we create economic mobility while delivering skilled, community-rooted talent to industry partners.
Many Detroit residents have the drive but lack access to certification and networks. Relax 9 exists to close that gap — and we’re always seeking industry partners willing to hire, mentor, or collaborate.
“My top takeaway from the Social Enterprise Collective Cohort is learning how to structure my passion into a sustainable, scalable model. It helped me align my mission for economic empowerment with a clear financial strategy — proving that impact and profitability can grow together.”
