It was around this time last year that I was in search for an opportunity; an opportunity to be involved in passion filled work, an opportunity to gain skills and grow all while impacting the city I rally around. It&#8217;s amazing how things will be introduced to you but won&#8217;t truly reveal their self until later. I knew what Challenge Detroit was through a former co-worker but I was didn&#8217;t quite understand what it was. All I knew it that Marlo was gone on Fridays and i&#8217;d see her on Instagram doing awesome things in the city. That was back in 2013. A year later, I did further investigation and the fellowship had everything I wanted: chances to collaborate with peers and non-profits, an opportunity to expand my personal and professional network, and a chance to help the city.<\/p>\n<p>Here it is a year later and i&#8217;m 6 months into Year 3 of Challenge Detroit and we are at the point of recruiting for Year 4.
