Anti-Crime Initiative

The Safety Net for Youth Initiative is a joint partnership between the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis and the St. Louis Public Schools to provide blended services
to Youth at Risk between the ages of 16 – 21. The students participating in the program 
are recruited from the five St. Louis Public Schools Virtual School Program sites (Vashon, Sumner, Gateway STEM, Roosevelt and Dropout Prevention Site).
​These students are both males and females who currently meet the guidelines for free and reduced lunch which indicates that they come from families with low socio-economic household incomes.

These students are classified as full-time students who were on the St. Louis Public School District’s dropout list and were given the option to return to school to get the required 24 credits to graduate as high school students with a St. Louis Public Schools diploma. The services include academics through virtual learning, soft skills training, mentorship and Work-Based Learning Experience (paid internships).

This is a year-round program because students will spend their summer in paid work-based learning experiences to obtain specific skills and credentials while earning a wage. This is especially important for disadvantaged individuals with immediate financial needs but impending plans. During the internship, students will start earning wages on their first day of work and earn better wages as they develop skills.

​The dual program between a school district and a nonprofit helps the students to benefit from both ends in order to 
progress in life at a faster speed. This collaboration will implement the appropriate 21st Century soft skills needed by youth that will make them marketable for today’s workforce. The students will develop skills such as work ethics, communication / interpersonal skills, critical thinking/problem solving skills, team work/collaboration, resume writing & interviewing skills, as well as ability to interact with different cultures, receiving knowledge about various businesses and industries before participating in a work-based learning experience as paid internship. The Youth Development Collaboration will reduce crime in the city of St. Louis by implementing a career-readiness pathways program.
