Mission: St. Louis Social & Engagement VISTA - FT

The goal of the Mission: St. Louis is to eradicate poverty through empowering low-income individuals to be leaders in their lives, families and neighborhoods. We focus on our efforts within the city of St. Louis, where there is a 28.8% poverty rate. The Social & Engagement VISTA will build the capacity of Mission: St. Louis by developing and improving effective media communications (impact stories) for at least 200 low-income people in St. Louis, MO. As a result of the VISTA member’s service, impoverished individuals will increase their income/resources and have access to opportunity that will increase their chance of being economically self-sufficient and contributing to their success in life (breaking free of poverty).

Mission: St. Louis builds relationships to empower people to transform their lives. With relationship in hand, we have made a strategic set of programs available to the people we serve. These programs work together to address critical stages in the cycle of poverty, like high school graduation + recidivism. We walk alongside people as they work their way through our programs, empowering entire families to break the cycle of poverty.
