If you are interested in getting involved in revitalizing the city, doing volunteer work and connecting with the Detroit community, you should check out the student-run service learning organization: The Detroit Project.
Their mission statement is:
"We, The Detroit Project, exist to unite the University of Michigan and greater community with the Detroit community, to create lasting change, and to maintain fulfilling partnerships by addressing social issues surrounding Detroit through active service learning."
What I think is fantastic about this organization is the variety of volunteer opportunities it offers. You can do a one-time project (mostly on the weekend or on Fridays) or volunteer for weekly projects such as mentoring or neighborood clean-up. They do most of their work in the same 2 communities which allows you to build a connection with the people and community with whom you are working, rather than dropping in to a random and less fortunate neighborhood for a day of "good deeds."
The mass meeting in MONDAY, JANUARY 30th in the Michigan Union
