Overview

Groups who serve in St. Louis will be immersed in the community in a variety of ways. In the over 20 years we’ve been in St. Louis, we’ve developed partnerships that allow our groups to serve alongside community kitchens, gardens, summer youth programs, neighborhood beautification, donation centers for people experiencing housing insecurities and low-income individuals, and many other opportunities. Beyond service, there are great historical and cultural activities available to our groups! YouthWorks has partnered with this community since 2002.
