Organization Name: Southeast Michigan Indians (SEMI)
Organization Overview: About Us
South Eastern Michigan Indians, Inc. "SEMII"
Our History...
In the early 1970's it was recognized that the cultural, economic and social needs
of the Native American Indian Community required a central location in
South Eastern Michigan.
Many community members met and developed the By-laws to form South Eastern
Michigan Indians, Inc.
On May 30, 1975 South Eastern Michigan Indians, Inc. became a 501 (c)(3)
non-profit organization to deliver services to Native Americans in Macomb,
Oakland, and St. Clair counties.
In April of 1993, SEMII opened the doors of its new facility in Center Line,
Michigan, where we continue to provide a broad base of services.
Our Mission Statement...
"...shall promote and develop Native American educational, economic,social and
cultural opportunities by providing a location and source for information
dissemination of maters of interest to Native Americans; by
providing and sponsoring Native American exhibits, conferences, forums, cultural
expositions and cultural education for the general public; and doing all such further
work as shall be beneficial to the Indian community."
Today, our Mission Statement remains the same as in 1975 and we have broadened
the services we provide and developed other programs of outreach to not only the
Native American community, but the broader community as well. Our original
statement of purpose and activities continue to be carried.

Organization Name: Umbrella Tree
Organization Overview: Welcome to the Umbrella Tree! We are glad you stopped by. Our vision is to provide resources to local immigrant communities to help them grow and thrive. We do this by asking local communities a few simple questions: what do you need? what do you have? And, how can we partner together to meet those needs?
Right now we are serving in Hamtramck, Michigan. Why Hamtramck? Hamtramck is one of the most diverse small cities in the nation. It has been said that Hamtramck is “The world in 2 square miles” with 26 different languages being spoken within it’s 2.2 square mile radius. That’s a lot of different people in a small area! Many of these people are immigrants who are fleeing difficult challenges in their homeland (economic, political or religious) in hopes to find a better life here in America.
But, you know it’s a difficult transition to make. If you speak little or no English you can’t become a citizen, find a job, get a driver’s license etc…much less feel like you are a part of your new community. That’s where we come in! Umbrella Tree seeks to provide you and your community with the resources to help you grow and thrive. These resources include English as a second language (ESL) classes and mobile tutoring, Job Training Courses, Basic Computer Classes and community restoration and development projects. Our hope is that through these services local immigrant communities in the greater Detroit area will not only be equipped to realize their goals and dreams…but exceed them!

Organization Name: خدمة المجتمع الاسرة المتحدة United Community Family Services
Organization Overview: Since 1961, the Chaldean American Ladies of Charity (CALC) has continually assisted the needy families of the metro Detroit area. The CALC is a nonprofit charitable organization that operates with over 98% of donations going directly to the less fortunate. We focus our efforts on enhancing the lives of the people in our community. Our time and volunteer efforts are spent helping those in need, encouraging our youth, providing care for senior citizens, and maintaining our culture within the diverse community in which we live.
Metro Detroit’s 120,000 Chaldeans are the largest concentration outside the Middle East. The community’s growth spanning a century reflects economic, social and geopolitical factors. The majority of Chaldean Americans live in Michigan, although there are many in Illinois, Arizona, California and other countries like Australia, England and Mexico.
Although Chaldean Americans constitute the bulk of Iraqi immigrants living in the United States, they represent less than 10 percent of the population of Iraq. While the vast majority of Iraqis, are Arab Muslim, Chaldeans are Roman Catholic. They also differ from other Iraqis in that their ancestral language is not Arabic but a dialect of Aramaic, also referred to as Chaldean, Assyrian or Syriac.
The country of Chaldea was an ancient land in southern Babylonia, on the Persian Gulf near the delta of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in the Middle East. In biblical times the name was applied to all of Babylonia & Mesopotamia. It is present day Iraq.
CALC MISSION STATEMENT
We are Chaldean American women energized by working together and with others to provide help and hope to those in need.
We strive to preserve our heritage and enrich the community through awareness and advocacy, education and advice, and emotional and economic support.
Our vision is to strengthen and preserve the Chaldean family by ensuring that all generations have access to necessary resources and services.
The CALC has many volunteers that spend a substantial amount of time helping others and trying to raise funds and awareness of our mission. If you’d like to volunteer your time with the CALC, click here to fill out a volunteer information form. We appreciate your help!
