We are incredibly proud to celebrate our 2026 Youth of the Year, Alyssa Moore!

We’re proud to share that the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Flint recently attended the 2026 Boys & Girls Club Michigan Area Council & Youth of the Year Conference! Alongside Clubs from across the state, our team had the opportunity to learn, grow, and celebrate the incredible youth we serve—especially those participating in the Youth of the Year program. A highlight of the experience was spending time in Lansing, where we advocated for the vital role Boys & Girls Clubs play in supporting young people and strengthening communities. We were also excited to celebrate a local champion—Senator John Cherry —who was recognized by the Michigan Alliance of Boys & Girls Clubs as this year’s Legislative Champion. Representing right here in Genesee County, his support of youth and our mission makes a meaningful difference in the lives of those we serve. Moments like these remind us that together, we are building brighter futures for Michigan’s youth. #GreatFutures #BGCMichigan #YouthOfTheYear #AdvocacyInAction

The Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Flint is deeply grateful to General Motors and the GM Flint-area plants for their generous support of our kids and families — through both the Community Impact Grant and holiday donations that bring comfort, joy, and stability during the season when it’s needed most. Because of GM’s continued investment, we are able to strengthen STEAM education, provide safe and enriching programs, and support families with essential resources during the holidays. This support helps ensure our Club members not only succeed academically, but also feel supported, cared for, and hopeful. We are also thankful for the dedication of GM employees, whose generosity and commitment to giving back make a lasting difference across our community. Thank you, GM, for standing with Flint’s youth and families and for helping us create bright futures and holiday joy. #ThankYouGM #BGCGreaterFlint #CommunityImpact #HolidayGiving #STEAMEducation #GreatFuturesStartHere #FlintStrong
