High Schoolers Can Donate Their Time and Make Friends

Volunteer with Summer In The City

• 
  
  
  Fun
  Cool people doing awesome projects — what more could you ask for? Join your friends and make new ones doing projects like painting, planting, construction, demolition, working with kids and a whole lot more.
• Flexible
  You can come whenever you want without signing up in advance. This is summer, after all. All you have to do is show up at one of our six carpool sites and we'll have you back by peak tanning time.
  
  See the schedule for times and carpool site locations.
• 
  
  
  
  Fulfilling
  This one has two meanings: We hope you'll feel a sense of pride in the work we do together and in Detroit, and we know you'll get credit for the hours you volunteer because we keep track of them and send you a nice certificate at the end of the summer. Sure it sounds great, but you really have to see it to believe it.
