Project Title: Built Different Youth Leadership Imitative
\nProject Description:<\/p>\n
The Built Different Youth Leadership Initiative is a monthly youth development program designed to strengthen leadership skills, confidence, and decision-making among adolescents ages 14\u201318 in underserved communities in St. Louis, Missouri.<\/p>\n
Many young people today face identity challenges, peer pressure, and limited access to positive mentorship environments. Built Different provides a structured, adult-led space where youth can build confidence, practice leadership, and develop the skills necessary to make intentional, values-based decisions.<\/p>\n
Each monthly gathering includes leadership discussions, guided reflection activities, and mentorship conversations focused on real-life issues such as fear, identity, and purpose. Youth also participate in interactive activities designed to strengthen decision-making and communication skills. The program is hosted in partnership with City Jump, which provides a safe and engaging environment where youth can connect through structured activities and community engagement.<\/p>\n
The program addresses a critical gap in youth development by providing a consistent leadership environment that encourages young people to think critically, build confidence, and engage positively in their schools and communities.<\/p>\n
Grant funding will help support youth participation access, leadership materials, program supplies, and mentorship programming. Through this initiative, youth will strengthen decision-making skills, build leadership identity, and increase engagement in their schools and communities.<\/p>\n
Total Project Budget: 27.500 annually<\/p>\n
