School Stickers
Over the summer, Inner City Inclusion made a start on one of its primary goals: setting up college stickers in lower income Detroit Public Schools. This was done with the purpose to inspire students to see a future that involved higher education. President and founder Carnell Poindexter states he views the stickers as a “vision board” and that “opportunities can only be taken advantage of when people are aware that the opportunities exist”.
Our work with Operation Backpack
Operation Backpack has come to an end and it was a complete success! With over 30 filled backpacks and two boxes of excess school supplies, Inner City Inclusion was able to support underprivileged students with their back-to-school endeavors. Thank you to everyone who made a donation; You are changing lives! There will be more opportunities to get involved in the future— Stay tuned!
Assisting with New Prospect Meals on Wheels
This Christmas, a few of our E-Board members were present at New Prospect Missionary Baptist Church in Detroit, Michigan to help with their Meals on Wheels project. Volunteers assisted by unloading the Christmas meal boxes from trucks, sorting them, and load boxes into cars. It was joyful, fulfilling, and a wonderful way to make a difference during the season of giving!
Christmas Shopping with ABC Student Transportation
This December, members of Inner City Inclusion teamed up with community volunteers to go Christmas shopping at Walmart! ABC Student Transporation hosted this incredible event where we were able to interact with children directly, bringing them tremendous joy during the holiday season.
Our work with Charles Wright Academy
During the month of February, numerous Inner City Inclusion members visited Charles Wright Academy in Detroit. In addition to putting up college stickers, we handed out over a hundred school supplies, gifted shirts from Central Michigan University’s IMPACT program, delivered letters of encouragement, and read to kindergarten students. Interacting with students and watching their understanding of higher education shift in real time was highly fulfilling! Our president, Carnell, spoke to them directly, sharing his journey to empower and uplift them.
