Community Engagement & Events

Community Engagement

The Office of K-12 Partnerships works closely with UM-Flint departments and community organizations throughout Flint and beyond to offer a wide range of enriching activities, educational workshops, and community events. Inclusion is at the heart of everything we do, and we are dedicated to providing welcoming and accessible spaces where students, families, educators, and community members of all backgrounds can learn, grow, and feel valued.

Whether through dual-enrollment, community events, or summer programming, our goal is to foster a love of lifelong learning, celebrate creativity, and build meaningful opportunities for connection and conversation. Through our events, we strive to ensure everyone feels respected and empowered to participate, share their perspectives, and pursue their passions.

By bringing together diverse resources and expertise, the Office of K-12 Partnerships creates opportunities for personal growth, community engagement, and celebrating what makes each participant unique. Whether it’s a hands-on workshop, a career exploration event, or a collaborative community event, we are committed to making each experience enriching and inclusive.

We invite you to join us at future events and become a part of our vibrant, welcoming network. Whether you’re looking to spark creativity, build new relationships, or simply enjoy a day out with friends and family, we look forward to seeing you soon!
