Since 1967, the group has invested more than 500 million dollars into researching the chron's and colitis, which affect 100 thousand people in Michigan. The Michigan Anti-Defamation League was founded in 1913 in response to an escalating climate of antisemitism and bigotry, though it has fallen under heavy scrutiny in recent years due to its strong defense of the state of Israel during its military assault on the Palestinian territories.

    Providing After School Programs and Volunteering at the Zoo
    May 9 2025
    May 11, 2025 ~ The Detroit Zoo’s volunteer program is a powerful way for people of all backgrounds to give back, make a difference for animals and the planet, and build meaningful connections. The volunteers' impact on animal care, education, and conservation, as well as the overall guest experience. Chrystal Bell, volunteer service manager, joins Michigan Voices. Erin Skene-Pratt, executive Director of the Michigan Afterschool Partnership, said the partnership credits out-of-school time programming for an effective strategy in helping at-risk students. Whether before or after school, these programs involve activities like athletics, STEM, arts, language, culture, and more, and ultimately helps foster a sense of belonging. For almost two decades, DBG has built deep connections with students and their families, measuring impact through annual evaluations and ongoing dialogue. This longitudinal approach allows them to understand each student’s unique journey – their challenges, opportunities, and dreams. Peter Feezey and Jessica Hauser from DBG join Michigan Voices.
