One week of PeerCorps Summer costs $150. We want to ensure that the cost is not prohibitive to any potential families and so if you have any questions regarding payment and/or are in need of financial assistance please email Rachel Fine.
Please pay through a donation here. Under designation, please write “PeerCorps Detroit Summer Payment.”
We will be at a different partner organization each day of any given week for PeerCorps Summer. All of our service partner sites fall under the categories of Food Justice, Education Justice, and have the theme of relationship building through service. Some of the activities include urban farming, youth summer camps in the city, and food assistance programs.
The summer is an opportunity to do PeerCorps in a more concentrated way. Rather than serving with one partner site for the cycle, there is a variety of different sites in any given week. Plus the weather is better!
