Eagle Village, Inc.
Through God’s help and love, we serve, value, and equip children and families for success.
Drawing upon decades of experience with delinquent and trauma-impacted children, Eagle Village, with our team of professionals, has designed programs that include:
Family Involvement- We facilitate family involvement whenever possible by removing any obstacle we can. We cover all the food and lodging for families when they stay for therapy, and will even provide transportation if necessary- all at no cost to the families. We know that by including the whole family in the treatment plan, we can achieve lasting change.
Therapy in Motion- Our specially trained therapists weave hands-on experiences and challenging, structured activities into treatment plans to aide therapy and teach social skills.
Make a Plan- Trauma manifests in a range of behavioral and emotional struggles. We assess the impact of a child’s past traumatic experiences and then our skilled Therapy Team devises a treatment plan for each child. We work with the strengths each individual already possesses and teach coping skills to prevent their struggles from slowing their success.
You can boil us down to this:
WE BELIEVE IN THE POTENTIAL OF ALL PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF THEIR STORY.

Eagle Village encourages and empowers all youth and staff through inclusion and diversity.
Eagle Village stands against racial discrimination.

Requirements to become a foster parent
Parents can access the Michigan Foster Care Portal (MFCP), which is a tool that helps expedite licensure. The portal can track progress and list the next steps a foster parent needs to take. The MFCP also contains FAQs and helpful guides for parents.
In addition to online tools, foster families also receive some financial support. How much they receive depends on the child's age and needs. Parents may also be entitled to additional reimbursement that covers care costs.
Plus, foster families can access many local and state-wide support organizations and advocacy groups. These groups provide resources, answer questions, and are happy to help form connections between foster parents.
Your foster care agency is always there if you have questions or concerns. Their goal is to ensure the child's well-being and assist parents through the fostering process and beyond.
Another path you might want to consider is co-parenting with the birth parents. The end goal in most foster cases is to reunite a child with their parents or primary caregiver. You'll work with the birth parents anyway to set up visitations, and co-parenting can make your job easier.
Working further with the birth parents can also make the entire fostering process less stressful for a child. They won't feel as if they have to "choose" between homes and families.

I love to see the transformation of the children placed in the care of Eagle Village. The changes are so beneficial for the kids, and influence them for the remainder of their lives.

The leadership at EV has consistently reinvented the Village in favor of being more relevant and effective in serving the youth it encounters while staying financially viable in an ever changing state support system. The heart it has for each young soul that walks onto the grounds is evident in the big and small decisions made every day.

Mad love for this place. The leadership team is willing to out in the work to make a difference in a kid’s life.
The service they offer has the tendency to be so messy. EV does it with dignity, humility and with a young person’s best interest at heart. Great success stories coming from this place.
