Our mission is to help homeless and high-risk girls and young women avoid violence,
teen pregnancy & exploitation, and help them to explore and access the support, res-
ources 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. We serve homeless and at-risk girls and young
women through the following programs:

Shelter: Provides a stable home, counseling, support for getting their education back
on track, job readiness and life skills training to homeless young women ages 15-22
and their children.
