Description:

 DiscoveryWorks Community Service, in collaboration with Summer Discovery, invites you to experience the best of all worlds by helping others, living in a university residence hall with high school students from all over the USA and around the world, while having the most amazing summer of your life.

 Summer Discovery @ Michigan is proud to partner with the University of Michigan Ginsberg Center for Community Service and Learning, and U of M Project SERVE to allow high school students to meaningfully give back to the Ann Arbor community. What better place to serve the greater community than the birthplace of the Peace Corps? (President John F. Kennedy announced the formation of the Peace Corps on the steps of Michigan Union) Volunteer at one of the most prestigious and prodigious university programs for service learning.

Earn 50 hours of community service in our 3-week program, and 40 hours during our 2-week program. Projects may include working with Recycle Ann Arbor (promoting the wide use of resources), Ronald McDonald house (working with children), Ann Arbor Hunger Coalition (providing free meals to the Ann Arbor community), Nichols Arboretum (Huron River clean up), and U of M Health Services Volunteers (working in various departments at the university’s hospital).  All DiscoveryWorks students will be under the care and supervision of the Summer Discovery Staff and participate in most Summer Discovery activities and excursions.
