Volunteers are essential to bringing HOPE — Homes, Opportunities, Parenting, Education — to Boys Hope Girls Hope scholars. Through positive interactions with caring adults, scholars see that they have value, that they are not alone to deal with the challenges they face and that it’s safe to place their trust in others. It can be a long process though, and it requires many helping hands.

We want you to volunteer at the Detroit Zoo! Training or previous experience is not required; we will train you for the area in which you are interested. Training classes are offered in the spring and fall each year. We are looking for friendly, outgoing individuals 18 or older. If you enjoy the Zoo, care about animals and the environment (and people too), and have time to donate during the summer, you may be the perfect candidate. Volunteers do not feed or handle the animals but there are lots of other ways you can help.

Monet to Dalí: Modern Masters from the Cleveland Museum of Art

Just imagine the marquee—Van Gogh, Dali, Picasso, Monet, Cézanne and more! From the mid 1800s to the mid 1900s these artists profoundly changed the course of European art history and blazed a new path for modern art across the western world. From the dynamic brushstrokes of Van Gogh to the hazy delicacy of Monet, from Picasso’s inventiveness to Dali’s demented dreamscapes, these are works you’ll never forget!
