Since 2016, Oak Pointe has partnered with GM for a summer service project in the Cody Rouge community. This summer’s project will be scaled back due to Covid-19, but it is still taking place July 28, 29, and 30. We will again support beautification efforts at five school buildings in the community.

Due to Covid-19, PRE-REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED for all volunteers to support social distancing at all locations. We will, unfortunately, not be able to take any last minute walk ins.

We’ve partnered with schools and several community groups to have a positive impact on the beauty and safety of the Cody Rouge neighborhoods in Detroit. For a monthly update on our partnership, download our Cody Comments newsletter. You can also signup for our email newsletter.

Leadership Mentoring – Spend an hour a week with a small group of high school students reading about and discussing their values, decision making, and goal setting.

Classroom Assistance – Many teachers are open to having volunteers assist them in the classroom a few hours a week.

Our Cody Partnership volunteers do an excellent job of building friendships with our Cody staff and students. As we interact with students in mentoring, after school Bible clubs, athletic events, and extracurricular activities we see how amazing each person is. It’s a joy to partner with the staff to encourage and help students grow. The number of students we can encourage is tied directly to the number of volunteers we have. Will you consider joining our team this school year?
