Summer Youth Initiative (SYI) continues, in spite of the challenges presented by the pandemic. SYI applicants will have the opportunity to interview for summer jobs at a variety of local businesses and organizations that have created safe environments.
Through a program run by Genesee Intermediate School District, YouthQuest students have been selling products at the Flint Young Entrepreneur Market since April.

Carman-Ainsworth High School graduate Jalondria Dhrubo is following her dreams. After graduating from high school and TeenQuest she went on to Mott Community College where she obtained a Nail Technician/Salon Management Certificate and a Cosmetology Certificate.

The economic rebound that’s underway has a number of local manufacturers in search of talent to fill openings for entry-level, skilled trades and managerial positions.

In April, YouthQuest students donated items to the Storks Nest, created science-based crafts, celebrated Earth Day and practiced Karate.

YouthQuest, TeenQuest and Summer Youth Initiative are programs of the Flint & Genesee Education & Talent, a division of the Flint & Genesee Group, and funded in part by Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and Michigan 21st Century Community Learning Centers.
