Whaley Children's Center

Whaley Children's Center Transforming Lives and Creating Futures for the kids at Whaley Children's Center since 1926.

At Whaley Children’s Center, our children come to us due to severe abuse and neglect. Through our program, we help our children build confidence and provide them a place to belong and call home. Our CARF-accredited Qualified Residential Treatment Facility, licensed with the State of Michigan, serves foster youth ages 5-17, and our Independent Living Plus program supports youth aging out of the fos

ter care system ages 16-21. With the dedication of our staff, donors, and volunteers, we empower our children to heal, grow, and thrive.

When the youth at Whaley Children's Center lived in the Administration Building, meals and food were also stored in the building. Small pieces of our history, like this, can be seen in the most peculiar of places.

This is a part of our past we will not renovate or paint over, as it shows how much we have grown and how much life has changed.

In 1977, Whaley Children's Center hosted its first youth talent show. This tradition continued for several years with youth from our center showcasing their singing, acting, spelling, and dancing skills!

Even the programs for the show featured artwork by youth.

What would it look like if Roof Sit were in Whaley Children's Center's founding year, 1926?

We mashed up another staff photo with AI-powered Photoshop to travel back in time.

See Ms. Neondra and Ms. Marcia fundraising during Roof Sit, 1920's style!
