About this grant

Operated by Faith Foundation Resources, the Helping Young People to Employment Program prepares young people for the workforce by developing essential soft skills that employers seek. The program encourages participants ages 16-24 to graduate from high school and pursue higher education opportunities and activities that support obtaining gainful employment. Approximately 50 youth from Flint will participate in the workforce development portion of the Helping Young People to Employment Program. Those youth will also receive additional wraparound services, training to graduate from high school and support to ensure that they will be employed within six months of program completion.
