Safe & Active Genesee

What We Do

Our mission is to advocate for and support policy, systems and environment change that creates equitable access to safe opportunities to be physically active throughout Flint and Genesee County.

At the Crim Fitness Foundation, we recognize that health is influenced by many factors. Everything from whether you own a bike to the number of working street lights in your neighborhood can shape your health and wellness opportunities. That is why the Crim’s Active Communities team works to create safe, healthy and equitable communities through long term interventions of policy, systems and environment change.

Technical Assistance

At the Crim Fitness Foundation we cultivate accessible, vibrant communities in Flint and Genesee County that encourage and create equitable opportunities for individuals to lead healthy lifestyles. To do this, we address access to programs, resources and long term interventions by providing nutrition, physical activity and mindfulness programs for youth and adults. Second, we establish neighborhood schools as community resource hubs through the coordination of Flint’s Community Education Initiative. Lastly, we eliminate barriers and establish sustainable solutions through policy, systems and built environment change.

Safe Schools, Safe Neighborhoods

With the goal of improving safety for kids walking and biking to and from school, millions of dollars have been invested in infrastructure improvements like sidewalks, crosswalks, pedestrian signals, and lighting.
