About Us

Who are we?

The Michigan Association for Gifted Children is a non-profit organization comprised of educators, parents, and other concerned individuals who are interested in expanding opportunities and advocating for the needs of the 5 – 10% of Michigan children who are gifted and talented.

 

Mission

The Michigan Association for Gifted Children provides leadership, advocacy, support, and services to assist families and educators in meeting the unique needs of gifted and talented children and youth.

 

Vision

The Michigan Association for Gifted Children has a vision for Michigan’s diverse gifted and talented student population. This vision states:

​

Children with exceptional gifts and talents are present throughout Michigan, yet many remain unrecognized. Our vision is to support the discovery of these learners and the development of their personal potential, without limitations. Meeting the unique needs of gifted and talented students today will enhance the future of Michigan.

​

Actualizing this vision is not only vital for recognizing giftedness and developing talent among high potential students, but also for the impact it has on the education of all students and, ultimately, for its impact on our nation.
