We help people gain prosperity, promote equity, and we build a connected community for all ages. We are MFS Since 1950, our nonprofit has grown from family counseling in the early days, to a broad based multi-service organization within our culturally diverse, intergenerational community today. We embrace innovation to create sustainable solutions that address disparities, promote equity, and demonstrate respect for all individuals. As an anti-racist and culturally responsive organization, we understand acknowledging disparities is not enough. We partner with community members who choose to partner with us to access services they see as helpful to them. At our organization, we tackle complex challenges by actively listening and engaging with diverse perspectives to understand and meet the needs of the community. In all that we do, we honor the inherent strength of intergenerational, multicultural communities. Learn more ➞ "You people all do such wonderful work.

Read more MFS data Our Programs MFS is a nonprofit human service organization rooted in our culturally diverse intergenerational community. We work in partnership with schools and other community-based organizations to empower individuals at every stage of life. Our programs are informed by those who participate in them, as we seek to understand what is truly helpful and transformative in our community. So much of what we do is to open spaces and connections for people who have not had a way to access what they need, or to participate in decisions that affect their lives. At MFS, we act as partners and allies in breaking down barriers, supporting the strength of each person, family and community. The experiences and insights from those who participate in our programs at MFS shape the future of our work together. MFS is committed to becoming an anti-racist, liberatory organization. This means MFS is committed to engaging with community members who are often underrepresented and actively seeking out input from marginalized communities who are often left out of decision-making processes that directly impact them. Through our program participant voice work, MFS will ensure that all program participant populations are heard and their input is used to inform program, policy, and advocacy decisions. EARLY CHILDHOOD DEVELOPMENT & YOUTH SUCCESS Supporting early childhood development and empowering youth, enabling a strong start in life. ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT Advancing individual and family economic well-being. COMMUNITY-BASED HEALTH & WELLNESS Fostering effective community-based health and wellness practices across the lifespan.
