About this grant
This grant will allow the Flint Cultural Center Corporation, in partnership with other cultural center institutions, to provide educational programming to students attending Flint Community Schools and other at-risk students living in the community. Declining school budgets have forced area schools to reduce or eliminate arts and cultural programming from their curriculum, as well as restrict field trips to the Flint Cultural Center to take advantage of the high quality educational programs it offers. Due to Flint’s high poverty rate, many families cannot afford to take their children to the cultural center. The Flint Cultural Center educational outreach program will provide Flint students access to various educational programs and activities available from any Flint Cultural Center organization during the 2015-16 school year.
