JOIN US FRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 2026, AT MICHIGAN CENTRAL

Please join us for AutoGlow, an evening celebration hosted by Lisa and Bill Ford and Lia and Jim Farley.

The Children’s Center is a beacon of hope for children and families in Detroit—empowering voices that too often go unheard. Each year, more than 4,000 children and families turn to us for resources, guidance, and connection. Through our services in Behavioral Health Services, Child Welfare, and Community Engagement and Advocacy, we help youth build resilience, strengthen families, and create the foundation for a brighter future. We believe that when you heal children, you heal Detroit—creating a future where every voice matters and every child is heard.
