My parents lived and raised my siblings and I in Detroit. Despite growing up in Detroit, there was a whole part of the community that I never saw. In my community placement, I have gotten a greater sense of culture within Detroit. At my site, there is an emphasis to reach spanish speaking families, so that they can be informed about environmental issues in their communities. I was amazed to learn that many organizations do not make efforts to reach families who speak different languages. The reality is that Detroit is filled with people of all races, experiences, ages, and cultures. Something I appreciate about my site is that they find ways to help people no matter who they are. This is what inspires me as I do work. Not everyone at my site lives in Detroit, although this does not stop them from working tirelessly to make a difference.
