A student-run 501(c)(3) nonprofit at the University of Michigan, The Detroit Partnership (DP), exists to unite the people of Ann Arbor and Detroit. We coordinate both one-time and weekly service-learning opportunities for our members by partnering with schools and community organizations primarily in the Brightmoor and Southwest neighborhoods of Detroit.
While working together during weekly tutoring programs or one-time park clean-ups, members of each community may experience and discuss the challenges that face humanity today. Though one program alone will not erase social issues or inequalities, a lasting partnership will perpetuate the idea that change is possible, especially when neighbors can lean on each other.
