Detroit International House

There are 2 important reasons why the experience we offer will enrich you:

1. We offer a welcoming and stimulating environment suitable to live a mind-opening cross-cultural experience. Through this volunteering, you can live a very authentic individual experience and at the same time, you can savour the unifying power of a community experience.
2. Our project is focused on cultural exchange

In the house, you can find a friendly and informal climate: you will always find a hand whenever you need any help, and you're always free to take your time and your space to live your trip in a moment of personal recollection, taking advantage from our house's great position in the city of Detroit.

Nice hostess, pretty young manager. Guests have to clean their own mess, so relatively easy job. Just got bad feet, so didn't go anywhere a lot, but definitely I will be back to see my classmate there. And because hostess there, maybe I will settle down there in the future.

Working with Karen on the Detroit International House project was important, and I will continue to be available to run projects in the future.

Karen is a great host. It was my first experience as a volunteer and it was fascinating. Chores were as we agree and I had a lot of free time. I've met many interesting people and immerse in local culture. Detroit is a way better place than I thought before I came here.

And Alexey is an amazing volunteer and super smart. He helped with so many different tasks both at our NYC location and Detroit and gave me so many different ideas about all sorts of things. We spent hours talking about all sorts of things so that was really fun and I got to learn all about his culture. A very creative mind. Thank you so much for helping in NYC last minute and then traveling to Detroit with me and also sharing your amazing culinary skills with my family too! I pulled out some Borcht in my freezer and it was still amazing. Thank you!!

When we are traveling we did many sacrifices for our trip.
It was not good to hear the bad things the host said.
I not recommend this place
