Last week, we had the opportunity to attend the Flint & Genesee Group Annual Meeting, and we’re feeling grateful to be part of such a strong and supportive community.

It’s inspiring to be surrounded by organizations and individuals who are all working toward a shared goal, lifting each other up and making a positive impact together. Collaboration like this is what truly drives meaningful change.

We’re proud to be part of it!

1 in 4 adults in the U.S. lives with a disability, and many are ready and able to work. 💼

But barriers still exist. The unemployment rate for individuals with disabilities remains significantly higher, not because of lack of ability, but lack of access and opportunity.

The truth? Inclusive workplaces are stronger workplaces. Driven by resilience, creativity, and diverse perspectives.

Let’s keep building spaces where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.

At VIP, skill development goes beyond the workplace. Along with vocational training, our clients also build important personal skills that support independent living. From learning about nutrition and exercise to developing healthy daily routines, we’re proud to support growth in every area of life.

In our community, disability support and advocacy matter more than many people realize. In fact, about 20.2% of Flint residents under age 65 live with a disability, compared to 13.7% across Genesee County.

One thing that makes Flint special is the number of organizations dedicated to helping people live independently and thrive. Organizations like us at Vocational Independence Program (VIP) are part of a strong network that includes The Disability Network, Specialized Employment Services (Flint STRIVE), Michigan Rehabilitation Services, Disability Rights Michigan, and the Michigan School for the Deaf.

Together, these organizations support individuals through employment training, independent living skills, advocacy, education, and community resources.

Flint faces challenges, but our community continues to show up. Working together to help people build skills, gain independence, and create brighter futures.

A little Throwback Thursday for you.

Did you know we used to have our very own gardening program? You can still spot the barn on our property but years ago, we were field-growing our own perennials and selling them to the community!

It was such a special part of our story, and we’d love to bring back programs like this to give our clients even more variety, hands-on experiences, and opportunities to grow.
