SBEV has 62,000 square feet of space wholly devoted to the developmental needs of north Flint’s youth population who have been deemed "at-risk." Eventually, the SBEV mission is to reach all youth in the city of Flint. The space is dedicated for learning, developing, leading and investing in children and youth through employment, community health, and community engagement. At SBEV we firmly believe that if we empower and provide the resources to youth, they will be the catalyst to drive change in the community. SBEV plans to provide youth a safe harbor and an alternative to gangs, drugs and violence.
