Get Involved

The Skillman Foundation is committed to changing the odds for Detroit children. We believe there is a movement for children that is taking root in neighborhoods and schools all over the city. We also believe there are ordinary citizens, elected officials, business and civic leaders, clergy, young people, educators, and other funders out there who have an important role to play in turning Detroit around. We want to hear from these champions for Detroit. Together, we can make Detroit work for children and families again.

Lisa Cylar Miller, special projects officer at The Skillman Foundation, heads up our efforts to influence others to work on behalf of children. If you are interested in supporting our work to make Detroit a place where children are safe, healthy, educated, and prepared for success, we want to hear from you.
