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.
Our Cultural Commitment
Eagle Village values every person; every person deserves to be treated with honor, dignity, and equity. Together, we grow, through shared experiences, intentional conversations, and mutual understanding.
Eagle Village encourages and empowers all youth and staff through inclusion and diversity.
Eagle Village stands against racial discrimination.
Eagle Village believes in the potential of all people.

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.

Great caring place!

Was here back in 2004-2005 for 18 months. Gerber house. I remember Mr Hector, Mrs Lott, Mr Schroeder and Mr Nelson as great influences even on who I am today. I left into a foster home from head stage the only reason not heart stage because I knew if I told them I was embarrassed about not having any of my own clothes to wear as was the privilege they’d have gotten me some (the only reason I didn’t try for heart when they kept pushing me to). They were awesome kind caring people and if I lived nearer there I’d love to work there and be apart of what they’re still doing for troubled youth. I hope they never run out of funding to continue their cause. ❤️

Eagle Village is a great facility for kids who need help and supervision. I was there for a year and 2 weeks. At first i hated it because i didnt want help, but at the end i had made so much progress. Ive been to 14 facilities and this one was definitely the best!

Our church went here for a discipleship retreat. The Eagle Village Camp staff was awesome and very polite. They met all our needs. The motel rooms where we stayed were plenty of room for our family of 5. There was so much open space to explore although the weather wasn't the best. We could not enjoy the pool or canoeing. Their indoor high ropes and climbing walls were pretty cool.
