ABOUT STARFISH FAMILY SERVICES
Founded in 1963, Starfish Family Services is a nonprofit human service agency dedicated to championing children and families in metro Detroit who face limited access to essential resources like education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
Our holistic approach serves over 4,000 children and their families annually, providing high-quality programs focusing on early childhood education and development, behavioral health wellness and empowered parenting.

OUR MISSION
Strengthening families to create brighter futures for children.

OUR VISION
A just society in which all children, families, and communities have equitable opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive.
At Starfish, we believe in building on the strengths of families. Our integrated, high-quality programs emphasize early childhood education, wellness, and empowerment for parents and caregivers. Programs and services offered by Starfish are high-quality, research-based, and evidence-supported. By focusing on the best practices in the field we aim to achieve three key outcomes: healthy families, successful students, and empowered families.
