We recently had the privilege of celebrating our Youth Leadership St. Louis graduates as they concluded their 2024-25 program year.

A very special thank you to the the University of Missouri-Saint Louis for not only hosting the graduation but also generously offering each YLSL participant a four-year academic scholarship, up to $5,250 annually.

This year’s cohort explored a variety of topics and issues, including health and wellness, social responsibility, career exploration, and STEM in our region, all while building and practicing valuable leadership skills in critical thinking, group facilitation, problem-solving, teamwork and public speaking.

We also want to extend our appreciation to all the sponsors, program day hosts, facilitators, school administrators, advisors and families who helped support our student leaders along their journey of learning, discovery and growth this year.
