Give Your Gift of Money for Brilliant Detroit

Brilliant Detroit's Brilliant Service Delivery Model

In 2016, Brilliant Detroit formed with a unique service delivery model to ensure the long-term success of Detroit’s children. Using Detroit’s underutilized housing stock, Brilliant Detroit establishes early child and family centers in the middle of high-need neighborhoods that coordinate evidence-based education, health, and family support programming for families with kids 0-8. All of this is done “with, for and by” the families, prioritizing their input every step of the way, to ensure community leadership of the whole effort. Today, seven (soon to be 11) Brilliant Detroit homes provide holistic services to over 4,700 children and their caregivers.

Detroit Families Seek Increased Peace

Brilliant Detroit families have identified the presence of aggression and violence in their homes and neighborhoods as a barrier to kid success. They have encouraged Brilliant Detroit to add peacebuilding activities to their community offerings, such as compassion cultivation, mindfulness, and peaceful communication.

Brilliant Detroit wishes to respond to their families’ requests. However, adding such community offerings takes new resources, including both people and money.

Enter Peace Through Action USA

Brilliant Detroit has invited Peace Through Action USA, a national group, to help address their peacebuilding gap by assigning a compensated national service participant to Brilliant Detroit. The peace agent will help Brilliant Detroit add peace education and skills building activities for children and families to their portfolio of community offerings. Learn more about our plans here.
