Every year, United Way for Southeastern Michigan honors our commitment to building equitable communities through our 21-Day Equity Challenge. This fourth annual challenge marked the first after our merger with United Way of Washtenaw County.

Less than a year ago, Janeen Jackson was experiencing homelessness and struggling to make a way for her children and grandchildren. “Life wasn’t too easy for me,” said Janeen, who is 46. “I’ve been to shelters, I’ve been living with people— but me, I never give up. I’m a resource person.”

Every April, United Way for Southeastern Michigan celebrates Global Volunteer Month to reflect on those who generously give their time in support of others. This month, people who go above and beyond in lending their time and talents to better our community are recognized in 2024’s Volunteer Honor Roll.

Students and families participating in Summer Discovery will explore their interests, engage in their communities, and discover their potential through robust enrichment and academic programming. This free program provides fun learning experiences to support the whole child in their educational journey and life beyond the classroom.

Make a difference today — and every day. Our volunteer portal makes it easy to find ways to give back.

Join us for a series of 30-minute virtual community conversations around topics that impact your life.
