Our Community Services connect individuals and families with resources, support, and opportunities to thrive. Through mentoring, intergenerational support services, practical resources for parents, and recreational activities for individuals of all abilities, we help build stronger, more resilient communities.
At MCHS, we recognize the great need to provide support services for the entire family—from “cradle to cane” as we like to say. Through our Foster Grandparent and Senior Companion programs, we partner with hundreds of local organizations, where senior volunteers give back and provide intergenerational support to youth through volunteerism, mentorship, and meaningful relationships.
Through our Foster Grandparent Program, senior volunteers mentor youth in our community, offering guidance with schoolwork and activities. These connections make a lasting, positive impact on young lives bridging generations through shared stories, support, and care.

Isolation and loneliness are serious issues affecting many in our senior community. Our Senior Companion Program is here to help by matching seniors with a volunteer companion for friendship and connection. These dedicated companions build meaningful relationships with participants, bringing warmth, activity, and a sense of belonging back into their lives.
To apply to become a Senior Companion volunteer, contact Senior Director of Program Development, Jessica Martin, at or jmartin@mchsmi.org or (313) 946-2007.
As an inclusive, fully-accessible camp and one of the most magical places on earth, The Fowler Center exists to empower independence and personal growth through barrier-free outdoor learning and fun! We provide summer camps, weekend respite camps, equestrian programs, and travel adventures for individuals of all ages and abilities.
MCHS supports refugee children through home studies, case management services, language and legal support, and long-term foster care.
Unaccompanied children…
Our goals are to either reunite children with family in the U.S., connect them with sponsors, or find foster homes when needed.

We understand that parenting isn’t always easy—it comes with its own set of challenges. That’s why we’re here to support parents every step of the way.
Our child abuse prevention services work to create safer, more supportive home environments and communities by helping parents build effective parenting skills—laying the foundation for brighter, more secure futures.
