Welcome to the Volunteer Dearborn Blog Space!

My name is Jonathan Larson and I am the adviser for the Volunteer Dearborn student organization on the campus of the University of Michigan - Dearborn and I would like to welcome you to our blog!

This space will be used to post upcoming events sponsored by Volunteer Dearborn. This includes Day of Service events, such as Gandhi Day of Service, Homecoming Day of Service, Make a Difference Day and the MLK Day of Service.

We will also post information on one time and long term volunteer opportunities as they come into the Student Activities Office.

There will be photo galleries showcasing our commitment to the metro-Detroit community as well as areas for members to reflect on their experiences while volunteering.

Welcome to our page and keep coming back for updates and changes.
