Keep Genesee County Beautiful

Keep Genesee County Beautiful is funded in full by grants and donations. The program works to encourage, educate and engage residents in creating beautiful, clean and sustainable neighborhoods, parks and open spaces throughout the City of Flint and Genesee County. Our goal is to improve communities, their environment and quality of life, by offering in-kind program support services to citizens who selflessly cultivate change in their neighborhoods. This is achieved by engaging with volunteers to extend the reach and impact of our initiatives and programs.

We believe that broad community partnerships allow us to extend the reach and impact of our initiatives and are essential to achieving sustainable, community improvement through programs such as Adopt a Park, Cultivating our Community, Community Cleanups and Recycling. To see if your initiatives or projects fall within the scope or reach of our in-kind program services, check out our program pages.

Keep Genesee County Beautiful became Michigan’s first affiliate of Keep America Beautiful in April 2004 and has received the prestigious national President’s Circle Award every year since then. In January 2016, KGCB became an official program of the Genesee County Parks.
