COMMUNITY

is the culture at Metropolitan Family Services. Reflected in both our internal culture and the services we provide, community is at the heart of all we do. Metropolitan Family Services (MFS) empowers families to learn, to earn, to heal, to thrive. Since 1857, MFS has been the engine of change that empowers families to reach their greatest potential and positively impact their communities.

In collaboration with community partners in Chicago and dedicated funders, MFS established Metropolitan Peace Initiatives in response to record levels of community violence. This framework brings together community-driven strategies that empower community-based organizations to intervene with those individuals at the highest risk of driving the violence while working with the overall resident population to transform perceptions and realities of their community. This holistic framework responds to high-risk incidents while also being proactive in preventing situations. A goal of this strategy is to increase the collaboration of community-based organizations across communities.
