St. Louis, MO — Rides N’ School Supplies (RNSS) is proud to announce a new partnership with Ranken Technical College’s High-Performance Department to grow and elevate one of our most impactful and in-demand youth programs: The Automotive Symposium.
This collaboration represents a major milestone for RNSS, aligning with our mission to provide early exposure, mentorship, and skill-building opportunities to youth in underserved communities. With Ranken’s technical expertise and educational leadership, this partnership brings a plethora of opportunity and real-world access to students who might not otherwise step into a professional garage or tech lab.

The first Automotive Symposium under this new partnership will take place on Saturday, February 28th, 2026, from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Ranken Technical College. Space is limited, and registration opens January 28th.
