In 2022, partner WOW Outreach (Flint violence reduction non-profit) and support from Flint ReCast and the C.S. Mott Foundation, iMP launched Flint's Got Talent to reach youth whose mental health depends on feeling their voices are heard. Arts are recognized forms of healthy healing. Partners sought to send the message: "You Can Get There from Here!" Electronic auditions run from August to October. A full-blown professional Capitol Theater experience is enjoyed by the top 10 performers. Performers get a full rehearsal day, and professional/tech coachin. The audience decides the winners. All 10 walked away with cash prizes and WNEM guest appearances on Collette Boyd's morning show.
