Metropolitan Family Service helps people move beyond the limitations of poverty, inequity, and social isolation. We help people gain prosperity, promote equity, and we build a connected community for all ages.
Since , our nonprofit has grown from family counseling in the early days, to a broad based multi-service organization within our culturally diverse, intergenerational community today. We embrace innovation to create sustainable solutions that address disparities, promote equity, and demonstrate respect for all individuals. As an anti-racist and culturally responsive organization, we understand acknowledging disparities is not enough.
We partner with community members who choose to partner with us to access services they see as helpful to them. At our organization, we tackle complex challenges by actively listening and engaging with diverse perspectives to understand and meet the needs of the community. In all that we do, we honor the inherent strength of intergenerational, multicultural communities. I will be turning 80 soon, and I have been on these trips before, and I just want to say - gosh, I am getting goosebumps just thinking about this - what you do there is medicine.
