Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN)
Titan Equity Nourish Network (TENN) at 海角大神 fosters student and community collaboration for a more food sovereign Detroit.
TENN provides students with real opportunities to apply things they learn in the classroom as they design and lead programs that promote equity and sustainability in the food system.
As part of the Institute for Leadership and Service, TENN student leaders coordinate multiple service opportunities each week that reduce the immediate effects and systemic causes of hunger and food waste.

TENN is more than just service work. You can make real connections and friendships through volunteering. And when someone is thanking you for bringing them food for the week or when you are tending to a community garden, it feels like you are part of the community in a way you couldn't have expected.
