Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has"

INTRODUCTION

Government is a slow and tedious process. While it often includes citizen and neighborhood involvement, non-governmental, private organizations have created movements and interesting groups which can create positive change in our cities and towns.

I am fascinated by the way groups are created and how they influence public decision making. This blog merely recognizes them and forwards the description of these groups from their own websites.

ARISE Detroit !

Location: Detroit, MI

Website: www.arisedetroit.org

ARISE stands for Activating Resources and Inspiring Service and Empowerment.

Our goal is to promote a greater citizen involvement and community awareness of organizations and services that help a community function better.

We are creating a permanent network of organizations and their volunteers offering programs that support children and families.

Our mission is to inspire a community of active engagement, personal responsibility and hope by connecting people to opportunities and resources to transform the quality of life for all Detroiters.

Vision Detroit will be a city where children are loved and mentored, families are healthy and strong, and everyone is instilled with a spirit of hope and engaged in community service.
