St. Louis Story Stitchers

Program Overview

St. Louis Story Stitchers provides programs that promote excellence in the arts, youth leadership, and community outreach. Activities focus on strengthening leadership skills, peer-to-peer education, adult-youth mentoring, resilience, and pro-social behaviors like civic responsibility. At the Center, Story Stitchers' home base, youth have a safe space to connect through video games, music, and social gatherings. 

They receive mentoring and coaching from experienced artists, gaining hands-on experience in the performing arts, including podcasting and music production. Beyond the arts, Story Stitchers empowers youth with teamwork exercises, public speaking, project management, performance skills, marketing, cultural training, and job readiness.

The program is funded by Prop S for 2025. 

The programs are operated by St. Louis Story Stitchers: https://storystitchers.org/
