Assemble Literacy Kits for Brilliant Detroit [Ongoing until 5-29]

May 29, 2020

Detroit Platoon

Event overview

Brilliant Detroit is dedicated to building kid success families and neighborhoods where families with children 0-8 have what they need to be school-ready, healthy, and stable. They do this by providing proven programming and support year round out of Brilliant Detroit hubs in high-need neighborhoods. Due to the current public health crisis, the learning hubs where Brilliant Detroit conducts its parent and caregiver support programming are temporarily closed. Simultaneously, parents and caregivers need more support than ever to ensure their families are safe, healthy, and learning. To continue to meet the needs of the community, Brilliant Detroit is calling for volunteers to help assemble hundreds of DIY literacy kits to support learning at home. This DIY project is the perfect volunteer activity to complete in the comfort and safety of your own home and will make a difference to a local Detroit family, and can be completed anytime! Register here to participate, and we will follow up with details for coordinating the safe exchange of materials you will need to complete the project.

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
