The Heart of Flint
Flint, Michigan, is a city filled with rich history and strong spirit. Known for its automotive legacy, Flint has faced challenges such as economic downturns and health crises. Despite these obstacles, the community has shown incredible resilience. For example, the population has seen a significant decline in unemployment rates, dropping from a staggering 22.9% in 2009 to around 5.5% in 2021, indicative of the community's determination to overcome struggles.
At Creative Solution Foundation, we believe real empowerment comes from the community itself. We work side by side with residents and local organizations to uplift and celebrate the talents and strengths of Flint’s population.
Building Local Partnerships
Collaboration is the key to real change. One of our main focuses is to create strong partnerships with local organizations, schools, and nonprofits. These collaborations enable us to use existing resources effectively and understand the most pressing needs of our community.
Our community events are a perfect example of these partnerships in action. They help to connect people and can lead to sustainable solutions. For instance, training programs developed with local businesses have resulted in a 30% increase in employment among participants.
Community Events: A Catalyst for Change
Every year, we will host various community events to bring residents together, celebrate local culture, and target critical community issues. These events, which include educational workshops and health fairs, provide valuable information, encourage connections, and welcome Flint’s diversity.
One of our most anticipated events is the Annual Creative Solution Foundation Community Festival. This festival showcases local talent and businesses while promoting available resources for residents. we hope the festival will attract over 2,000 attendees and help at least 50 local artisans gain visibility. Such events foster an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive.
