We’re recruiting 8 Detroit Champions who want to make their local parks beautiful centers for gathering in their neighborhood. Nominate yourself or someone you know to become a stipend-earning Champion. 

Champion a Park in Your Backyard

What is Our Backyard Detroit?

Green Living Science is partnering with the Gilbert Family Foundation to lift up Detroit residents with the resources and opportunities to help public spaces get the attention and care they deserve.

 

Together, we are building a network of local Champions to activate and steward our parks and recreation areas to promote a healthier and cleaner city. The goal: to increase access to healthy green spaces in the City of Detroit!

We’ve identified 8 parks across Detroit’s seven Neighborhood Districts where community Champions can help bridge the gap between City departments and the needs of public community spaces, organizing programs like:

  • Park Cleanups

  • Anti-Litter Initiatives 

  • Recycling Education 

  • Community Events
