Greater Detroit Muslim Jewish
Solidarity Council
Creative Writing and Art Contest
for High School Students
|
The Greater Detroit Muslim Jewish Solidarity Council was formed to promote better relations between the two communities. They are holding a creative writing and arts contest during the month of October to offer high school students the chance to express their hopes, visions, challenges, and experiences with "the other" - and possibly win a $100 prize ( in each of the four categories - essay, short story, poetry or art) and have their work published. They will be holding an awards ceremony at Wayne State University on Thurs, Nov. 19 - in conjunction with the Cohn-Haddow Center and the Michigan Muslim Coordinating Council, as part of the Weekend of Twinning, a national Jewish-Muslim annual program.

Detroit Interfaith Outreach Network is offering great ways to volunteer:
|
Durfee Middle School Literacy Tutors to go once a week for about an hour to work with a student on reading, writing, simple math, etc - based on what the classroom teacher wants.
Career speakers for Life Journeys program - requires you to go to one or two classrooms one day once a year.
