Community service proposal

This proposal aims to address the low visual appeal of Detroit and the lack of community volunteers. By increasing awareness of volunteer opportunities and organizing engaging service events, we hope to motivate residents to contribute to the beautification of the city. Our team includes qualified members with experience in community service, ready to implement solutions that provide incentives, increase event frequency, and streamline registration processes. The ultimate goal is to foster a cleaner, more attractive Detroit that strengthens community bonds and encourages population growth.
