About this grant
The Flint Center for Educational Excellence — an affiliated entity of the Community Foundation of Greater Flint — will deliver a full-service community education strategy in 15 Flint area schools. The focus for the newly established Flint Center for Educational Excellence in its first year is to integrate community education and afterschool initiatives, which previously were provided by two separate organizations, into a seamless model. The new model will include afterschool programming, adult education, health services, early childhood education connections and parent and community engagement. Best and promising practices from demonstration sites will be shared with other schools in the community to leverage innovation with the goal of helping Flint kids thrive.
