The Flint Impact Community is led by the United Way of Genesee County and was started in 2011 when the leading nonprofits in Flint, Michigan saw national service as a strategy to meet the community-identified vision outlined in the City of Flint Master Plan. Since then, they have over 35 host sites and 300 members from all branches of AmeriCorps service in the Flint community.

With support from the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, local government and service partners, the Accelerator supports member development and training, provides coordination for recruitment and networking, and helps organizations offset the costs of hosting members through a National Service Fund. The Flint Impact Community has had incredible success and impact in the community, most recently documented in a 2020 study that concluded that for every $1 of federal funds toward service in Flint, there was a $27.40 return to society, program members, and the government.
