About "For the Seventh Generation"

 "A HUNDRED YEARS FROM NOW, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind of house I lived in, how much money I had in the bank, nor what kind of clothes I wore. But the world may be a little better because I was important in the life of a child."

 

Established in 2005 by the Detroit Metropolitan Bar Association Foundation in cooperation with the 3rd Judicial Circuit Court and the Department of Human Services, For The Seventh Generation is the inspired vision of Chief Referee Kelly Ramsey of the Juvenile bench in partnership with the Executive Director of the DMBA Foundation, Lorraine Weber. The program provides non-law related services to all  neglect and abuse wards of the court, by encouraging and matching volunteer community organizations and individuals with a child and family in need. Through this innovative, community-based program, non-legal service providers such as doctors, dentists and electricians are asked to donate one service per year to one ward of the Michigan court system. Our goal is to bring the children and our community's resources together in an efficient, timely and continuing manner by serving as a “clearing house” to match those willing to volunteer their time, talents or merchandise to those children identified as needing such assistance.
