When I joined the Google Ann Arbor office more than a year and a half ago, our office’s opening was viewed by many as a ray of light during a bleak time for the state of Michigan. While this seems a familiar story now, at the time Michigan's unemployment rate was becoming a big problem as the Automakers fell into hard times and began laying off employees. I had high hopes, like many Michigan natives, about what Google Ann Arbor would mean for the place that I call home. Since joining Google Ann Arbor, I have not been disappointed by the my team's unique spirit.Blight Busters to constructing sculptures from donated canned goods for SOS Community Services , our office has shown a strong commitment to making Michigan, and the world, a better place. My first foray into the volunteer spirit that drives our office was with Google Grants. In part enticed by the promise of free pizza on Google Grants optimization nights, with time I found myself becoming more and more involved with the program.Posted by Sarah, Google Grants Volunteer
