We believe that the youth of St. Louis are builders of their future. of homes. of hope.
Through hands-on education, mentorship, and career skills that build confidence and uplift communities, Youth Builders STL is rewriting the story for young people in the St. Louis area.
We empower a brighter future — mentorship, and the creation of safe, sustainable housing for families impacted by disaster.
We build confidence and lifelong leadership — hands-on experience in the construction trades, afterschool support, and leadership, one afternoon at a time.
We open doors for women — practical skill-building, community, and new opportunities for women in the trades.
Make an immediate impact in our community!
Our story begins in the aftermath of the May 2025 tornadoes that ripped apart homes and disrupted lives in the St. Louis area. Out of that crisis, we set out to build hope, homes – and a stronger community – for good.
