A free Flint event on Wednesday closed the city’s Summer Youth Employment Program, bringing together families, young people and neighborhood groups for food, music and community resources.
Hundreds of participants were recognized after the program gave them workplace experience and a chance to explore future careers during the summer.
Flint ReCAST partners and other organizations were also honored for supporting youth, families and neighborhoods, underscoring the city’s broader community-based approach.
The celebration doubled as a back-to-school moment, with organizers framing it as both recognition of youth accomplishments and a way to connect families with available local services.
