Ongoing/Flexible Brilliant Community HUB Engagement Opportunities

Save to Favorites

Brilliant Cities/Detroit currently has 16 operating HUBs and there are always different opportunities that are in need of volunteer assistance. Whether it is reading one-on-one or with a group, managing activity stations, painting a room, gardening and beautification projects, event material set-up/restore, categorizing the book library, sorting in-kind donations, or assisting at a block party; our hubs have specific needs that arise throughout the year.

Current volunteer opportunities:

Brilliant Fitzgerald Clothing Closet Organization

Brilliant Detroit's Fitzgerald Hub hosts a community clothing closet that provides free clothing to those in need, helping to boost self-esteem by allowing individuals to feel confident and included with appropriate attire. This is especially crucial for families facing clothing insecurity, as it can positively impact academic performance and social interactions. The Fitzgerald location is seeking monthly volunteers to assess the quality, condition and seasonal appropriateness of their clothing donations and help categorize them by type and size. Volunteers are preferably needed during the week between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. on a monthly basis.

Support is needed Wednesday-Friday, between 3 p.m. and 6:30 p.m.
