Looking back at my first post it’s incredible to see how much the views stayed the same on the community aspect and even grew in many aspects that I would’ve never pictured of before. At first I just thought community was some place you can feel safe and people shared the same interests. Now I …
With so many different projects that I have for 826michigan, it’s incredible to see how much progress the work I’ve done for 826michigan is being put into use! I had a last minute project to email about 100 families to recruit their child/student to see if they would be willing to join our brand new …
This week was full of lots of work when it came to my internship but that didn’t delay our community group, The Antiracist Rockstars, to present our group presentation! It was so much fun being able to interact with them and be able to share ideas on what we might talk about as well as …

Their mission is to help public schools in Detroit and offer the younger students an opportunity to improve their writing skills in every way possible. The project I’ll be working on is collaborating with 826michigan to …
Hey everyone! My name is Raymond Ugaz but you can call me Ray! I’m rising Sophomore at U of M studying Biology. A community to me is kind of like a second home around people that you can have fun interacting with and building new bonds. It’s almost like a place you can turn to …
