Who We Are
The mission of St. Stephen’s Youth Programs is to promote equity in education, employment and opportunity through long-term relationships with youth and their families and communities. Our goal is to provide each young person with a comprehensive Circle of Care that supports them on the road to successful adulthood, fosters their personal and civic engagement, and equips them with the skills they need to be agents of change. In addition to meeting the day-to-day needs of our students, we organize for safer and healthier neighborhoods and schools.
What We Do
Our out-of-school time (after school and summer) programs keep young people safe and healthy within a supportive community and strengthen critical thinking through academics and enrichment. Our teen and alumni programs provide teens and young adults with the tools they need to achieve their own academic and career goals through jobs, college and career programming, and mentoring. Our community organizing and engagement programs equip young people and their families to build power and make material changes to their communities through ongoing workshops, training and programming.
