Flint Community School Corps

Different images of people. First one shows two teenagers smiling, second shows a little boy grinning, and the third one shows a woman in a mask holding up a food bag.

In 2013, the City of Flint adopted their first new Master Plan in over 50 years. The new plan utilizes unprecedented use of strategic community engagement and input. Community Education was on the top of the priorities for all residents of the City of Flint. As the lead agency for Community Education, the Crim Fitness Foundation has utilized AmeriCorps service as a core strategy to ensure student success is at the forefront of Community Education. AmeriCorps service members support success mentoring, physical activity programs, education activities, partner & volunteer engagement, and family engagement.
