Community neighborhoods all over the city of Detroit are working to make their neighborhoods better places for children and families. Neighborhood teams are rallying around agendas for change, and working to make those changes reality. Michigan's Children is helping to enable that change to take place. As part of The Skillman Foundation's Good Neighborhoods Program and The Community Foundation for Southeast Michigan's Detroit Neighborhood Fund, Michigan's Children is helping to identify community issues, establish a policy agenda and advocate for change in  the targeted neighborhoods identified by each group.

Michigan's Children works in collaboration with several Detroit-based partners on Special Projects designed to engage elected officials with neighborhoods residents and youth on issues that are important to them.
