The Detroit Chapter of the Risk & Insurance Management Society(RIMS) is proud to serve our local community.
Wednesday, August 2, 2017
Afternoon shift – 1-5pm
Service Project – Life Remodeled,Central High School, Detroit
For the third consecutive year, RIMS Detroit and our risk management partners are going to put boots on the ground in our local community. If you served at Osborn High Schooland Denby High school in prior years, you’ll know how rewarding an experience it is. This year is special. 2017 marks the 50th year anniversary of the 1967 Detroit riots,and Life Remodeled and their partners will invest in the neighborhood surrounding Central High School, the city’s first public high school, in the community where Detroit’s civil unrest began. This year’s project will serve not only as a powerful commemoration of the progress we’ve made, but also of the progress we continue to strive toward.As in prior years, we’ll be involved in all aspects of blight removal and beautification, so come prepared to work hard and get dirty!
Who is Life Remodeled? Life Remodeled is a Detroit-based nonprofit that seeks to remodel lives along with neighborhoods, schools and homes. Our annual volunteer workforce of 10,000 comes from community organizations, churches, businesses and people who just care about Detroit. Every phase of our project is about people, those served and those who are serving. Relationships born of this approach create transformation and sustainable neighborhoods that are crucial to making Detroit’s revitalization permanent.
