EVENT 07: Panel Discussion
“VOLUNTEERISM IN DETROIT : A (Re)generation strategy”
In Detroit, volunteerism is a catalyst for change. We accomplish change by performing change, and the unique legibility of these efforts is striking within Detroit’s urbanscape. Established throughout Detroit, various non-profits and their creative volunteers have successfully regenerated many facets of our City. This legion of volunteers has provided the catalyst for positive marketing campaigns, entrepreneurial endeavors, and formal urban redevelopments.
These positive changes inspire and motivate others to contribute to our city. And so, we ask ourselves…
How can we facilitate regeneration?
How can we become the vehicle for detroit’s transformation?
During this June event, seven different non-profits will present their origins, inspirations, and body of work within our City. Following their presentations, an informal panel discussion will focus on (Re)generating Detroit, one impactful volunteer effort at a time.
