This year, we will mobilize another 10,000 volunteers on the same blocks, but go beyond blight removal. In response to the vision and requests of students and community residents, we will focus on clearing out alleyways of illegal dumping and overgrown shrubs and brush.
The project goes from August 5th-10th. You are welcomed to volunteer as much or as little as you'd like. Feel free to come alone or with a group! Light lunch will be served each day and there will be plenty of water provided throughout the day!
To register please check out our website: https://liferemodeled.com/volunteer/
The deadline to register is July 22, 2019! We look forward to seeing you!

Mission Statement
We exist to bridge people across divides to help transform each other’s lives - investing approximately $5 million in cash, labor and materials into one Detroit neighborhood each year. Projects are determined by the community’s needs and vision, and we assist in three areas: Remodeling a community asset, repairing owner-occupied homes, and mobilizing 10,000 volunteers to beautify 300 city blocks in six days. Throughout the process of unifying for a common mission, participants begin to realize how much they respect and need each other, which is a catalyst for long-term relationships and partnerships.
Description
Watching the news can be a painful reminder of how divided our country truly is. Race, religion and educational background are just a few divides across which we struggle to cooperate. In addition, despite sometimes living only miles apart, Americans of ample means and those living in poverty dwell in drastically different worlds. Rarely do we put forth the effort necessary to overcome the challenges of communicating and understanding one another, which cripples society’s ability to find impactful solutions.
In Metropolitan Detroit, we have witnessed well-intentioned suburban individuals and groups attempt to alleviate Detroit’s poverty crisis. We have also seen residents of the inner city make attempts to share their wealth of knowledge regarding oppressive systems that go unaddressed. Yet both are apprehensive about making the sacrifices necessary to develop meaningful relationships with one another. While financial resources are critical to urban renewal, all parties must come with the mindset that they have something to give and receive. Therefore, a different model of charity must exist where all sides are inspired to do the hard work of relationship building.
This is where Life Remodeled comes in.
