Education is a key part of our work at Brilliant Detroit. Academic support is part of setting kids up for success, as is making sure they have the right tools and resources. To make sure our families are ready to begin the school year, we gather in August at each hub to pass out important educational and health information, give out backpacks and other school supplies, and have some fun.
Volunteers support this important event by collecting backpacks, school supplies, help pack and distribute during various activities at the school readiness fair.
We are asking that volunteers:- Who are interested in a donation drive (see below list of wish list items).
