Michigan'S Children

Michigan’s Children is a statewide, nonpartisan and nonprofit organization committed to speaking out for the well-being of children and their families at the federal, state and local levels of government. Since 1992, Michigan’s Children has worked with lawmakers, business leaders and communities to create effective public policies to give all Michigan children the opportunity to thrive. We believe in: Equal Opportunity - Racial and ethnic disparities must be reduced so that all children have equal opportunities to thrive. Prevention - We can and must focus on preventing problems facing children and families, rather than intervening after children are harmed and families destroyed. Civic Engagement - The involvement of all stakeholders is critical, including community leaders, business and the private sector, parents, and youths. Collaboration - We must form key partnerships at the neighborhood, community, and local levels to address the needs of children and families.
