Join VT Seva Detroit

In a powerful effort led by five VT SEVA DETROIT youth leaders and 21 youth volunteers, over 260 pairs of sneakers were collected from friends, family, neighbors, and community members over the course of a few weeks. These shoes weren’t just donations, they show the passion behind each of the youth leaders and VT SEVA as a whole. While donating to GotSneakers, this initiative will greatly benefit the environment by reducing the carbon footprint, help underserved get a chance to wear a good pair of shoes and most importantly support VT Seva Feeding Hope (Special Occasions, Annadanam initiative) Program, which provides food to visually challenged and tribal students.

NFHS VTS Club students were showing the love this Teacher Appreciation Week! Taking time out of our homeroom to create personalized “thank-you!” cards was one way to honor the teachers who have enhanced the richness of our lives by inspiring us, providing valuable guidance, or being an adult to rely on in the lives of students in need of one Good teachers are invaluable to society, and these cards help serve as a reminder of how much teachers help shape the next generation. We wanted to express our gratitude towards the teachers who often do much more than they get credit for by doing their job!

After the hard work of our volunteers in creating these Mental Health Awareness Goody Bags, the month of May has arrived and during our lunches we passed out all of the goody bags to the students and staff. We hope everyone liked the goody bags, and awareness was spread through this initiative!

IAE VTS Club members made 500+ goodie bags to distribute during the Mental Awareness Month in May. Each of these bags had a lollipop, sticker, fidget toy and an eraser. Mental health is just as important as physical health, shaping how we think, feel, and interact with others every day. By raising awareness and providing resources like these goodie bags, we help reduce stigma, encourage open conversations, and remind students that they are not alone in their struggles. Small acts of kindness—like these goodie bags—can spark hope, promote self-care, and create a more supportive school community for everyone.

On Apr 13, 2025, VT Seva Detroit volunteers came together for our Spring Adopt-A-Road event, working hand in hand to keep our community cleaner and greener.

These will be used by people in need in many developing countries. We had the privilege to volunteer at the World Medical Relief, where we all sorted through medical equipment which will be sent to places in need of high quality medical equipment. The World Medical Relief is also a state of the art pacemaker facility, and they gave us an amazing tour of their facility, where they collect, sterilize, and repair pacemakers before they are then given to others who need them.
