Rising from the Ashes of its Industrial Roots: Accompaniment in “America’s Comeback City”
Despite his expectations, a Jesuit Volunteer discovers the richness of opportunity in “America’s Comeback City”—Detroit, Michigan.
Although hailing from one of the smallest towns in the smallest state, Warren, Rhode Island, Dan Simonds has big expectations for the JVC experience. A recent graduate of Gordon College on Massachusetts’ North Shore, he enjoys finding the story in his surroundings through journalism. On a given Saturday, you can find Dan running through your nearest woods trail, investigating the works of the local art museum or rooting on the hometown basketball team. Now, as a JV he is teaching 11th Grade College Readiness at Detroit Cristo Rey High School.
