Training When You Need It!

We are very proud of the feedback we get from people who attend our workshops and trainings. We consistently achieve a 95% or higher rate of good to excellent on the overall quality of our workshops. People who attend our workshops also want to work with us again, and we see them at Youth Development Provider Network (YDPN) meetings and in projects like the Reaching Our Youth Initiative (ROYI).

Did you know that St. Louis for Kids can bring these workshops to you, and your program, on your terms, when you want it? We can bring any of our workshops to a site or community at a time that works best for you. Most of our workshops are two hours in length, making them ideal for a morning or after-hours session. For additional information please contact Rose Anderson-Rice at 314-531-0011 ext. 106 or andersonricer@stlouis4kids.org. To download our complete training catalog click here

The ROYI project has been very rewarding work for us and we are very proud of the achievement and hard work of each organization. Organizations now have fund development plans to map out their financial future; networked computers to assist them in making their day-to-day operations more efficient, Board Development assisting in board member recruitment and responsibilities; not to mention marketing plans to help expand their services and this is NOT an exhaustive list! We are very grateful to the federal funding source (Compassion Capital Fund) that afforded St. Louis for Kids the opportunity to do so much good in our community. This is the last fundig year for the institute in it's current form. We understand the continued need for organizational development and therefore look forward to future work in this area.
