Detroit Partnership Day, Saturday, March 28, 2015
The Grandmont Rosedale community will team up with University of Michigan students on Saturday, March 28th from 10 – 3 PM for the 16th Annual Detroit Partnership Day, (DP Day for short). DP Day is a student-run organization that pairs student volunteers from Ann Arbor with schools and non-profit organizations in Detroit. DP Day is their biggest annual volunteer event of the year. DP Day is a great opportunity to build relationships between the U of M and Detroit communities by introducing the groups to each other through service-learning.Six sites located within Grandmont Rosedale will receive volunteers on DP Day. Local residents are needed to work alongside the students in order to give them a great first experience in our community.
