I worked for Summer in the City Detroit. It is a non-profit organization
that helps make an impact in the city of Detroit during the summer by going to
local gardens and planting fresh produce, painting murals on buildings to give
life to the neighborhood, and planning fun activities for kids ages 5-13
throughout different community centers and schools in the city. The whole
program is run by having volunteers from local high schools to come out as
often as possible Tuesday-Friday from 9am-1pm to give their time and energy
into making everyday amazing! On Friday there are fun field trips planned for
the group of kids we have fun with everyday and anyone is welcome to join! Not
only was this experience so much fun, but I made a connection with the kids I
was with everyday, gave them advice as needed, and it made me appreciate the
city of Detroit even more than I thought that I could. ~Shelby Gilyard '12
