Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity that engages youth in Detroit? If so, Give Merit’s mentorship program, FATE, is looking for University of Michigan students to become mentors!  

WHO WE ARE 

Our student organization, “FATE”, is a collection of students who recruit and participate as mentors for the FATE program (facilitated by a non-profit organization called Give Merit) located in Detroit. Give Merit exists to enhance and extend educational opportunities to Detroit youth through innovative enrichment and mentorship activities. Since 2012, Give Merit has worked intensively with Detroit high school students through its FATE program.

THE FATE PROGRAM 

FATE is a four-year, cohort-based program for high school students in Detroit who attend the Jalen Rose Leadership Academy. Its mission is to provide resources and opportunities for Detroit youth to embrace education and become world-class citizens, with a goal to motivate each student to graduate high school and attend college.

CURRICULUM

The four-year curriculum features four capstone projects which include creating a marketing/advertising campaign, designing their own Merit product collection, planning and executing a city-wide charity event in Detroit called "FATE In Our Stars", and participating in an internship placement as a youth-driven marketing firm. The curriculum is complemented by ongoing soft-skill building activities and regular excursion workshops where students are exposed to a variety of local/national organizations such as Zingerman’s, Google, Carhartt, and Plante Moran.

BEING A MENTOR

As mentors, we are paired with 1-2 mentees for the entire year which offers a lot of opportunities for relationship building. The purpose of the mentorship component of the FATE program is to provide guidance and support to our mentees throughout the year. We help facilitate workshop activities where students learn skills in business, marketing, and design thinking while also supporting our mentees as they develop personally and professionally. We do our best to demystify the college experience by talking to them about our majors, our extracurricular activities, and what we hope to do after graduation. 

JOIN US!

We are looking for students who are interested in making an impact in their community and investing in the lives of youth by becoming a mentor! Mentors will be assigned to one cohort (9th - 12th grade) and will attend programming on a weekly basis in Detroit! Transportation can be provided if needed.

The Area Agency on Aging 1-B (AAA 1-B) Caregiver Coaching Program is a free program that provides mentorship and support for family caregivers. We match people who are caring for an aging or disabled loved one with a compassionate, trained volunteer for one-to-one support. Coaches help identify needs and obstacles, explore and select options, offer encouragement, and strive to build a safe and supportive environment.  

  The program is designed to meet the needs of caregivers. There is no requirement for a certain number of communications or a specified structure or timeline. Caregivers typically speak with coaches twice a month over the phone, but every caregiver's needs are different. Coaches schedule calls in collaboration with their caregivers. 

 The AAA 1-B is actively seeking volunteers to enroll as Caregiver Coaches, as well as caregivers interested in participating in the program. Enclosed are Caregiver Coaching program flyers for you to share with your congregation members, program participants, community members, and/or their families.

Our House is building a unique, integrated model to support youth typically lacking the experience of growing up with significant adults in their lives. Through individual and group mentoring, life skills training, camp retreats, employment training, and supportive housing options, Our House builds upon each component to help assure successful outcomes as youth transition to adulthood.

Our Mentors are instrumental in fulfilling Our House’s goal of propelling youth to reach their full potential and equipping them with the knowledge, skills, and abilities necessary to function independently and contribute to society. They must possess a sincere desire to be personally involved with another person to help him or her achieve personal and career goals. Mentors will develop supportive relationships with foster care youth participating in the Our House programs and aid them through emotional support and social and recreational development. The Mentor provides caring companionship to supplement the work of parents, teachers, counselors, social workers and other social services and education professionals. 

Each Mentor will be provided with initial training before working with youth and ongoing support throughout the program. The average Mentor will put in approximately 6 to 12 hours each month in services to our youth. This commitment may come in larger or smaller doses, but the Mentor must be consistent. While Mentors may serve longer than one year, the minimum expectation of any Mentor will be one year.

The commitment is intense: 4.5 hours per week. But the rewards are equally great.

We invite you in for a conversation with our Clinical Director about what this opportunity entails.

It's a process. You would have plenty of time to check out goodness-of-fit before you decide.

The Family Learning Institute (FLI) is seeking adult volunteer tutors  to work with students in grades 2 - 5.

FLI tutoring happens both in-person and virtual, with on-line Zoom meetings and Google classroom curriculum.

Tutoring happens for at least one hour, each week, after school. The commitment begins in October and ends in May.

- It is nearly a full school year.

Every year, FLI helps elementary school students improve their reading comprehension and critical thinking.

Students are from economically disadvantaged households in Washtenaw County.

The key is individualized tutoring.   Volunteer tutors provide the students with individual attention and a mentor type relationship.

FLI tutoring focuses on building academic skills.  FLI programs meet weekly during the school year.

Students are enrolled by referral from educators and parents. FLI also provides academic tutoring for local summer programs. 

Holidays and days off follow the Ann Arbor Public School calendar.

Can't make a weekly commitment? No worries! We always need substitutes!

 If you are interested in volunteering, please don't hesitate to email or call.

Have a spare bedroom and looking to make a positive impact on your community? YOU can address youth homelessness in Washtenaw County by opening your heart and home to a young person experiencing housing instability!

Host Homes is a short-term housing support program that matches volunteer hosts in the community with a young adult (18-25 years old) who has experienced foster care. Our House participants will reside with their host family for up to six months rent free while they work on their self-identified goals, saving money, and learning independent living skills.

Host families will receive trauma-informed care training and on-going support from Our House staff. Hosts will provide basic household necessities (i.e. toilet paper, soap) and have the option of receiving a monthly stipend. The young person you are hosting will continue to work with their mentor and Our House staff to develop a case plan so they can successfully transition from your home into independent living.

Host Homes at their core are about connecting people with people and facilitating a neighbor-to-neighbor interim solution to youth homelessness. Host Homes put the "village" in "it takes a village". This community-driven, youth-centered program will play a critical role in addressing the youth homelessness for Our House participants by mobilizing community resources and caring adults to demonstrate to our youth that their community cares about them!

ENGin is looking for volunteers aged 15-22 to serve as speaking buddies for international students. This is a super-flexible and unique opportunity to make a difference without leaving your room. Plus, you'll get to know peers across the world!

Here's how it works: we will pair you up with a Ukrainian student to video chat each week at times that are convenient for you. We match students and volunteers based on age, gender preference, interests, and schedules. All of our students have studied English, so you don't have to worry about reviewing grammar rules - just chat about school, the latest news stories, favorite books and movies, holiday plans, or anything else that's on your mind. We also provide tons of resources, activities, and ideas for you to use. Your speaking sessions can be 30-60 minutes long.

The form will help us understand your background and match you with a student. Once we receive your form, we will reach out to schedule a 15-20 minute video call to provide more details about volunteering with ENGin and answer any questions.

You can learn more about ENGin at www.enginprogram.org. If you have any questions before signing up, please contact us at info@enginprogram.org.

Sign up to be a volunteer tutor on our website, https://theeduproject.net/tutors/. After a brief background check and orientation, you'll be able to meet with a student that we match you with (who shares interests in the areas you feel comfortable teaching) ~ once a week.
