Volunteer Spotlight: Quentin Todd

As a neuroscience student finishing his first year at Wayne State University, Quentin Todd knew it would be essential for him to build up volunteer experience in order to pursue his eventual goal of applying to medical school. Enter: SHARE Detroit. Quentin first learned about SHARE Detroit a few months earlier, so he already knew the perfect place to start looking for his summer plans. Due to the simplicity of our website, Quentin was able to sort through a variety of volunteer options in order to find the opportunity that was best for him.

Back to School

We’re midway through August which means teachers, children, and families are getting ready for another school year! Our partners here at SHARE Detroit are also gearing up to host back-to-school events and are putting out calls for community members to shop their wish lists to help them provide much needed school supplies to children in need. Providing students with classroom essentials first and foremost eases the financial strain of back-to-school shopping on families.

World Day Against Trafficking in Persons

“That’s the point I really want to drive home about sex trafficking. The most important part to saving victims is realizing how many different ways we could have done something before as anything as horrific as to what happened to me happens to me someone else.”
– Jose Alfaro, survivor of sex trafficking, quoted in The Polaris Project
