Change a Life. Start with One Connection.

One caring connection can change a life. Today, Queen is more confident and excited about her future—that’s the power of mentoring.

But many more young people like Queen are waiting for that same opportunity. You can help make it happen. Your gift today will create more stories like Queen and De’Andrea—opening doors, building confidence, and giving youth the support they need to thrive.

🏌️⛳ Day 1 of our BBBS Golf Mini-Camp was a great success!Thanks to the generous support of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Flint, our Littles had the opportunity to begin learning the game of golf while building confidence, character, and valuable life skills.Today focused on putting fundamentals, where participants learned proper stance, grip, aim, and how to control distance on the green. It was exciting to watch our youth practice their skills, encourage one another, and gain confidence with every putt.As golfers say, "Drive for show, putt for dough!" They may not be driving yet, but our young golfers are already learning one of the most important parts of the game. Through putting, they are developing focus, patience, perseverance, and self-confidence both on and off the course.A special thank you to Brendan Silpoch, Director of the Flint Junior Golf Association, for coordinating this wonderful experience and introducing our youth to the game of golf in a fun and supportive environment.We would also like to extend our sincere appreciation to Swartz Creek Municipal Golf Course for generously hosting this three-day camp. Your partnership provides our youth with a welcoming environment to learn, grow, and experience the game of golf, and we are grateful for your support of our mentoring mission.We look forward to another great day of learning and growth on the course!#BBBSFlintGenesee #GolfMiniCamp #KiwanisClubOfGreaterFlint #FlintJuniorGolfAssociation #SwartzCreekMunicipalGolfCourse #YouthMentoring #GolfForKids #SportsBuildCharacter #BiggerTogether #IgnitePotential ...
