About Guided Grace Family & Youth Services
Since 2020, Guided Grace FYS has brought people, ideas, and opportunities together to support mental wellness, youth development, and stronger families.
Our purpose
Guided Grace Family & Youth Services brings hope and holistic support to youth, families, and the Saginaw community through mental wellness, innovative programs, technology, and meaningful connection.
Our work connects learning with life. From out-of-school time and literacy to entrepreneurship, youth media, arts, and college exposure, we create opportunities for young people to grow skills and help shape their future.
We believe youth should have a voice in the opportunities, solutions, and communities around them.
Youth are creators, decision-makers, and leaders with perspectives that belong at the center of the work.
Learning, mental wellness, family engagement, and belonging work together.
Real relationships and local partnerships connect families to broader possibilities.
