Join us in making JSL a vital, lively community!

Volunteers are the special ingredient in all aspects of life at JSL. Come help with bingo, bridge, mah jongg, arts and crafts, current events, creative writing, fitness, and so many other activities. Our boutiques, bistro and café are all volunteer run. Whatever your passion is, we invite you to share it with our older adults. For more information, call Beth Robinson at 248.592.5062 or email brobinson@jslmi.org. Or just sign up to volunteer and we’ll call you!
