Michigan Chapter


Welcome to SKIP Michigan! 

SKIP, Inc. Community Resources Michigan Branch is located in Southfield, MI and has been active since 2004.  We  partner locally with other community organizations such as the Stewart Learning Academy Public School, Young Lawyer Society of Oakland County, Don Bosco Hall, and Hope United Methodist Church in Southfield, MI to serve 40 to 50 children.  We service children ages 6 through 16.  Through our partnering we are able to provide an enrichment program that ensures the children receive the well needed attention required to keep them on the right track.  Feel free browse our website 

Our program is based off the mission of SKIP National, located in Montgomery, Alabama.  We provide enrichment educational, health, mentoring, and family values to the children and their families.  We expose the children to cultural experiences that they normally would not get an opportunity to experience.  These experiences include trips to museums and exhibits to name a few. 

We hold true the values that help shape a good citizen that contribute to the constructive welfare of our Nation.  The children are consistent in their participation and welcome the right attention.  They also share good family values with us and each other.  We encourage parent participation and closely keep in touch with the children if we notice they are missing from sessions.  This allows us to integrated as a family and let each other know that we can all get through any situation with God's help and our willingness to be obediant.

Program Director,
Marian Canty-Murphy
