About Summer In The City Detroit
Summer in the City is a non-profit organization designed to improve and
expand community service in metropolitan Detroit. We offer community
service projects that are fun, flexible and fulfilling for high school
students, and practical and productive for partner organizations in Detroit.
Since 2002, 1200 Summer in the City volunteers have contributed over 22,000
hours of service to projects that help make Detroit a safe, beautiful and
sustainable place for everyone.
Summer in the City projects include demolition, construction, painting, planting, working with elementary school students and assisting the elderly. Every project is created in partnership with a local organization to engage our volunteers, enrich the neighborhood, and build bridges between the city and suburbs. From murals to community gardens to new houses, the impact of Summer in the City projects can be found all over Detroit, and volunteers take open minds and optimism back to all corners of Southeast Michigan.
