  • Are you looking for a meaningful way to engage your team or group in community service? Large-group volunteer projects at Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Flint provide the perfect opportunity for corporate teams, community organizations, schools, and other large groups to make a significant impact in the lives of local youth.

    Large-group volunteer projects are designed to accommodate groups of 10 or more individuals who want to work together to support our Club's mission. These projects are ideal for team-building activities, corporate social responsibility initiatives, or community service days. Types of projects can include: facility beautification, special youth program events (college/career fairs, educational activities, sports tournaments, etc), special initiatives (hygiene bag packing, bike giveaways, etc), and more.
