(FLINT, Mich., Aug. 5, 2020) – Now in its 10th year, YouthQuest will begin Aug. 17 at Flint Community Schools and Sept. 14 at International Academy of Flint. The afterschool enrichment program is working closely with both school districts to align its efforts with their day school formats and protocols.
When and how the program is delivered will vary by site and student preference, but as always, activities will focus on academic support; enrichment; physical fitness and healthy behaviors; nutrition education; youth development and leadership; and family and community engagement.
“Over the past decade, YouthQuest has provided a safe space for students to explore new interests and connect with peers and mentors, ”said Nefertari Jones, program director of YouthQuest, an afterschool and summer enrichment program made possible with support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation and 21st Century Community Learning Centers. “Now, it also offers stability and a sense of normalcy during a very uncertain time. Our students need that now more than ever.”
