Our Mission.

*Long Caption, Please Read*
In 2015 I had an idea. It started out small and then started to grow faster than I could put it into action. The idea was simple: Create a way to connect with people in and from Flint, especially for those of us that may be far from home so we could 1.Finally meet all those mutual friends that you hear about and 2. Put those mutual friendships to action. Then I realized that these connections could go farther than just helping each other, we could give back to the community that helped make us who we are today. I saw mentorship, fundraisers for scholarships, job help, business resources and more. The only problem was, I had a very hard time conveying this idea, this vision to others. I tried to do email blasts, we even met up once or twice, but I dropped the ball because I didn’t see things going as fast or as smooth as I thought they would in my head. Fast forward to 3 failed launch attempts and 5 years later, I almost thought there was nothing to show for it. At the start of 2020, I knew that was wrong. This idea has become bigger than me. In those failed attempts, I finally see that. I also now know how to explain clearly what I know The Flint Collective will become because I understand that it will take time to grow. In the next few days, I will clearly explain and I hope you can get behind it as well.
