The Detroit Regional Chamber's Education and Talent Team is excited to launch this interest form to connect you with opportunities to serve students in Southeast Michigan. There is a great need for employers to connect with and share their expertise with students. We have two easy ways for you to volunteer.
We have included links to organizations that we partner with that work with high school students interested in pursuing college: Winning Futures and Midnight Golf. They are both in need of mentors for students and have more detailed information on volunteer opportunities on their websites. Both will be accepting applications soon for interested parties to get involved for the 2021-22 school year.

Loyola is seeking employer partners to support this program. Please contact Kenneth Gardner, Director of the Loyola Work Experience Program, to learn more:
