Community Service

Detroit Water Ice Factory is a non-profit dessert shop, serving sweet treats and doing good! Founded by Mitch Albom in 2015, Detroit Water Ice was created with the mission of 100% of the profits going towards his multiple charities throughout metro Detroit. Helping veterans, the homeless, the hungry, the sick, families in need and the youth.

Detroit Water Ice Factory has a summer pop up location at Franklin Cider Mill! We are looking for reliable and energetic volunteers to come help serve our savory sweets, to help raise funds for our charities. We serve our delicious water ice and gourmet popcorn. Everything is premade. Volunteers just have to serve with a smile! We are asking for a minimum of a 3 hour a week commitment. We have a large tent for coverage, but please note this is an outdoor setup.

Hours of operation are: Monday through Friday 2pm – 10pm Saturday 12pm – 10pm Sunday 12pm – 8pm

RECREATION DEPARTMENT’S SUMMER CAMPS

The Bloomfield Hills Recreation Department is looking for teen volunteers to help out with our exciting Recreation Summer Camps that take place at West Hills Middle School.  Students who volunteer to work at the camps have the opportunity to meet the needs of most community service requirements.  Volunteering will provide valuable work experience while you spend time with kids inside, outside in the fresh air, at the waterfront and on weekly field trips.

Eligibility: Students must be a minimum of 14 years of age to volunteer. Students 9th grade and older in the fall (middle school students will be placed in summer programs after interested high school students are placed). Students must be able to provide a safe environment for campers, work independently, follow multi-step directions and act responsibly in case of an emergency.

Camp Hours:  9:30 AM – 3:30 PM​

Mutual Responsibility Policy: Upon agreeing to volunteer at our camps, we will provide on the job training and support as needed to be a successful volunteer. The volunteer understands that they are responsible for getting all community service forms to their teacher/supervisor to be signed at the end of their volunteer experience.  We reserve the right not to sign any volunteer forms to verify hours after one calendar year of service.

Placements:  Once your application has been received, it will be reviewed by the Recreation Department and, if you meet the general requirements of the job, you will be contacted regarding an interview and possible placement.

Bowers School Farm will run 8 weeks of hands-on, science-based camps for youth ages 6–10. "Stewards" will serve in a leadership capacity where their duties range from assisting with activities to group management. Stewards and campers spend a majority of their day out-and-about on the farm! Not only will your time count towards community service but, more importantly, you will gain great experience working in both an agricultural and educational setting. The farm in the summertime is exciting and you will build great job skills. Being a steward, while fun, can be a demanding job! We are looking for self starting, motivated and energetic students who are looking for a unique experience. 

Interested students should enjoy working with children and being outside. We look for stewards with a "can do" attitude who are not afraid to be silly, but can also take initiative and be positive role-models to our campers.
