Although the mission of Wolverine Human Services is Helping Children to be Victors, we continue to be so much more than that! We have been proud community members for over 30 years and we continue to be active in our neighborhoods. A large part of this is done through the John S. Community Center on the East Side of Detroit.
Volunteer Opportunities
Note: Due to the vulnerabilities of our youth, there are required background checks and safety trainings that are required to mentor with WHS, so if you’re interested, schedule a time to tour our facility and get the process started!
