Shelter, Prevention, and Outreach
Our mission is to help homeless and high-risk girls and young women avoid violence, teen pregnancy and exploitation, and help them to explore and access the support, resources and opportunities necessary to be safe, to grow strong and to make positive choices in their lives.
Founded in 1987, Alternatives For Girls (AFG) is a southwest Detroit-based nonprofit organization. Beginning as a small, volunteer-run program, operating a five-bed emergency shelter in a neighborhood church in the winter of 1988, AFG has grown into a multi-service agency housed in a two-story brick building constructed in 2002 with over 75 employees.
We serve homeless and at-risk girls and young women through the following programs: Shelter, Rapid-Rehousing, Prevention and Outreach, and Education Services.
