DP Day is a day of service learning for University of Michigan students! DP Day volunteers will go to Detroit and work on tasks to address community-identified needs, such as blight-removal and community revitalization.
This event is a chance for participants to learn more about Detroit and service learning, and engage with great organizations working to make change happen!
Volunteers may sign up individually, as part of a friend group, or with a student organization. Use this link to register!
Additionally, for the “learning” component of service learning, volunteers will attend a pre-DP Day volunteer orientation, as well as reflect on their service during DP Day.
Not everyone faces the same environmental and economic circumstances and this can put people at a higher opportunity for contracting certain health conditions. This is certainly the case in Detroit with its amount of pollution. Learn more about environmental justice here.
Our weekly programs are a great way to get involved! You can teach kids sports, mentor kids, or tutor them. Learn more about our programs here.
