NEW SERVICE OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
Check out these wonderful student volunteer events!
Caleb White Project Game Night at the Genesis House II Shelter Detroit
The Caleb White Project (CWP) is a Detroit-based non-profit with a two-fold mission: to help the homeless and less fortunate and to build youth leaders through volunteerism. Run by a youth advisory board consisting of board members under the age of 18, all CWP events and service projects are carefully designed with jobs for kids of all ages.
Game Night at the Shelter has become the favorite project of almost everybody on the CWP team! After hearing that people living in the shelter must adhere to a strict curfew of 4:30pm, Caleb realized that this eliminated a huge part of social life for them. He recognized that his sports practices, extra-curricular activities and visits with friends all take place after 4:30pm. He wanted to do something to bring a little bit of fun back to their lives. Once a month, Caleb and his board members take pizza, pop, board games, and friends down to the shelter and spend their Saturday night hanging out with them.
Students are invited to volunteer and join in on Game Night at the Shelter on November 13. Mercy seniors Alyvia and Makenna Sanom are on the CWP board and will lead a game night where we will serve pizza to the moms and kids residing there, play games, and help with a craft activity. See the Sign-Up Genius here for all the details!
Gleaners Food Distribution
Student volunteers will help to load food into cars and pack up remaining food located at Distinctive Schools in Redford 17175 Olympia, Redford Charter Twp, MI 48240. This is about 15 minutes from the Mercy Campus and can be done after school on a variety of days from 3:30pm-4:30pm. See the Sign-Up Genius here for all the details.
