Brilliant Detroit

Who We Are
We are Brilliant Detroit! We partner with families, neighborhoods, community organizations and businesses to mobilize services that empower families with young children in the areas of health, education, and family stability by providing place-based connections to resources. We envision a future where family services and systems are aligned and children have the environment and opportunity to thrive.

What We Do
Brilliant Detroit is bridging the access gap, combining people and place and providing the supports and services families need, right in the middle of a neighborhood. Inside a renovated home, just blocks or doors away from where families with young kids live and play.

Why We Do it
54% of Michigan’s young children are not attending preschool, which helps prepare them for kindergarten

More than 59% of Detroit children lived in poverty in 2012 and are eligible for programs and services that will really support their families’ success

Thousands of Detroiters go without access to powerful programs that could have a positive impact on their lives.
