FORCE

The FORCE Youth Advisory Committee is dedicated to empowering youth through advocating and encouraging youth engagement. This diverse group of youth, ages 13-18, are actively engaged in community service and grantmaking.

FORCE was established in 1992 as a result of a $1 million challenge grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation. These funds were permanently endowed for the benefit of youth. The committee utilizes the income generated annually from this fund to support various community projects and programs that affect youth throughout Saginaw County.

FORCE members have the opportunity to:

• Gain leadership experience 
• Award grants to youth programs
• Increase awareness of issues in the community
• Demonstrate that teens can make a difference
• Meet with a diverse group of Saginaw County youth
