This event brings families together for an evening of hands-on activities, storytelling, and demonstrations that highlight the contributions of Black inventors and changemakers. It’s a meaningful way to learn, connect, and honor the legacy of Black excellence.

Volunteer roles include, but are not limited to, Activity Facilitator (Future Inventors Table): Guide children and families in creating recycled-material robots, encourage creativity, and share stories about notable Black inventors. Assist in set-up/take-down. Activity Facilitator (Legacy Inventors Table): Lead participants in crafting hand-drums, discuss the cultural significance of drumming in Black history, and engage attendees in meaningful conversations. Assist in set-up/take-down.

Mission Statement

Brilliant Detroit works with, by and for neighbors to coordinate programs and partnerships in the areas of health, education and family stability. We cannot do this without the support of volunteers like you, who come from both inside and outside of our Kid Success Neighborhoods. We encourage you to look at the potential volunteer opportunities throughout this site in order to find the one that speaks to your interests and skills. Thank you again for your interest and we cannot wait to connect with you soon!

Description

Brilliant Detroit is dedicated to building kid success families and neighborhoods where families with children 0-8 have what they need to be school ready, healthy and stable. We do this by providing proven programming and support year-round out of Brilliant Detroit homes in high-need neighborhoods.
