Changing things takes us from charity to JUSTICE, from service to LEADERSHIP.

Why would we all support the
Shelter & Home Initiative?
• The validity of Kolb’s learning theory suggests that this experiential model will improve our learning outcomes
• In the Shelter & Home Initiative our urban location is a learning lab, inviting us to join together into a learning community
• The Shelter & Home Initiative focuses the attention of thousands of volunteers, their schools, churches, and neighborhoods.
• The Shelter & Home Initiative provides an efficient model for collaborative engagement in all types of agencies
• It provides Detroit an opportunity for positive visibility
• Agencies: identify and register opportunities for direct (face-to-face) volunteer service related to lack of Home & Shelter
• Schools and Worship Communities: strengthen your existing education and justice programs and create new ones with the Shelter & Home Initiative learning model
• All: add reflection and social analysis events at UDM and your own locations on one collaborative calendar
• All: Encourage your people to attend colloquia, lectures, events, and Symposium.
