Who Are We?
Community Driven Leadership is what the North Flint Neighborhood Action Council is all about. A network led by residents, block clubs, neighborhood associations and the faith-based community who partner with nonprofit organizations and other institutions, all with the desire to tap into the lived experience and wisdom of community by having community centered and community determined programs and ideas that lead us in the work.
We Have a Nac For That
The Mission
The North Flint Neighborhood Action Council exists to address issues related to safety, education, communication, housing and beautification by bringing together residents, block neighborhood associations and organizations to develop responses for North Flint to enhance the quality of life for all
Neihborhood and Resident Wellbeing
Everyone deserves the chance to live a full and healthy life—not just to survive, but to thrive. When we talk about wellbeing in our community, we mean more than just physical health. We mean feeling safe, supported, valued, and connected. We mean having what you need to care for yourself and your family, with dignity and without impossible choices. Together, we can build a community where everyone has what they need to be well.
That means listening to each other, investing in what works, and making sure that no one is left behind. When we take care of people, we all do better.
Community-Driven Capacity Building
Community-driven capacity building is about investing in the people who live, lead, and care about the places we call home. It focuses on growing the skills, resources, and leadership already present in the community, rather than imposing outside solutions. This approach centers trust, relationships, and shared power to create lasting change that reflects local values and needs. At its heart, community-driven capacity building means working with—not for—communities.
Active Citizenship
Active citizenship is about more than voting—it’s about showing up for your community, using your voice, and shaping the future around you. It means understanding that you have a role to play in making your neighborhood, city, or country a better place—not just every few years on election day, but in your everyday actions. Active citizenship is how we move from problems to solutions, from frustration to impact. It’s how we create the communities we want—safe, inclusive, and thriving for all.
