About Us

BFF began operation in 2025, but has been in operation since 2019 previously as Alternative Choices. We currently provide services to Children in Hillsdale and Jackson Counties of Michigan. We are an organization that provides a variety of skill-building, recreational, and CLS services for children. We believe in providing a positive environment where community involvement, independent living, career development, and having fun go hand in hand. We are committed to providing you with high-quality services based on your needs and preferences. Bridging Families and Futures has an open door policy, so that at any time you have a concern, one of us will be able to assist you.
