Who We Are
Since 2012, Young Voices with Action has closed many gaps where youth voices were not a priority or valued. YVWA has worked to make greater strides towards increasing the number of young community leaders in the St. Louis region. Since our work began, over five hundred concerned, competent, and committed youth have been impacted through collective work and organizing.
Our ongoing goal is to keep our overhead low while increasing our service in the field. Young Voices with Action is stronger than ever due to our continually expanding community who come together to donate time, resources, and talent in support of our important mission. Overall, we have worked with over 12 civic organizations, 6 churches, 3 school districts; our volunteers have logged over 12,200 hours; our Board of Directors has helped dramatically in increasing our donor base; and our Advisory Board has assisted us in expanding our hunger relief and youth empowerment programs.
Thank you wholeheartedly for being a part of the Young Voices with Action movement. We are looking forward to much more!
