experience on the local level during select Saturdays throughout the year. Service Saturdays are open to UM-Flint students, alumni, family, and community members. Participants spend time learning about our urban community and many of the social issues that residents face in Flint. On designated Saturdays, participants will meet at the selected service site to engage in meaningful action towards a greater understanding of root causes of relevant issues. Following the project, participants reflect and analyze social justice issues they experience first-hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\">Service Saturdays for 2026\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>February 14<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>March 14<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>April 11<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>May 9<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>June 13<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The University of Michigan-Flint\u2019s Service Saturdays program offers a community service learning experience on the local level during select Saturdays throughout the year.
