About this grant
This grant provides support to the Genesee Area Focus Fund to implement TeenQuest and the Summer Youth Initiative, which provide job training and employment opportunities for Genesee County teens in partnership with area employers. Teens participate in TeenQuest, a pre-employment training program, and then are eligible to apply for employment through the Summer Youth Initiative. Programs like these are particularly important as Flint responds to the water crisis because educational and enrichment opportunities are important interventions for children and teens to help mitigate the potential long-term impacts of lead exposure.
