From Grassroots Movement to Community Pillar
Inspired by the community response following George Floyd's death in 2020, Pontiac United began as a powerful grassroots movement. What started as community conversations about social justice quickly evolved into action-oriented programs focused on youth empowerment.
Recognizing that sustainable change requires investing in the next generation, our founders channeled the energy of the movement into creating structured programs that address critical community needs while providing safe, nurturing environments for youth development.
Since then, Pontiac United has blossomed into a vital community resource, serving hundreds of youth through diverse programs and building bridges across all segments of our community.
