The tour will include a series of free resource fairs held in all nine wards of Flint, offering education options,
employment opportunities, and support services essential for success.
The upcoming 9-Ward Tour is designed to bring resources directly to the Flint community. By partnering with Keep Genesee County Beautiful, GearUp2Lead aims to create a family-friendly atmosphere where attendees can engage with various service providers and take advantage of free giveaways and raffles.
