We will hold our Annual Trivia Night on Saturday, April 26, 2025 from 6-9 PM at First Congregational Church (6501 Wydown Blvd, St. Louis, MO 63105) and we need your help! Fundraising events, like Trivia Night, help us provide strong academic programs that nurture social-emotional wellness and advance developmental progress for life-long success.

Any support you offer will make a direct impact on strengthening children and families living in under-resourced neighborhoods in St. Louis. 

UP’s mission is to close the opportunity gap for children and youth by building on their strengths. UP is all about giving kids the best chance to succeed. We do this by providing top-notch licensed and accredited early childhood education and amazing after-school and summer programs that inspire young minds and bodies. Trivia proceeds provide critical support for our educational and cultural arts programs. With your help, we can make a real difference in the lives of kids in the St. Louis area.

Mission Statement

The mission of Unleashing Potential is to close the opportunity gap for children and youth by building on their strengths. We create educational and empowering experiences through early childhood education, after school programs, youth development and enrichment camps.

Description

Founded in 1913 as Neighborhood Houses, Unleashing Potential provided critical services for working class populations and addressed the issues of poor education for children. Pastors and church members connected with the United Church of Christ, canvassed St. Louis City to identify the community needs. In 2018, the agency’s name changed to Unleashing Potential (UP), to capture the heart of its work with children. While our name has changed, our mission remains the same-to provide high-quality educational opportunities for underserved youth. Our goal is advance educational equity for more than 1,100 children and families annually from economically disadvantaged communities in St. Louis City, University City, and Ferguson/Florissant.

UP provides licensed, state and nationally accredited Early Childhood Education for children (six weeks-five years). Occupational and physical therapies are provided on-site for children with special needs.100% of children were kindergarten ready. 82% of children met/exceeded development milestones.

UP’s After School and Summer programs use project-based learning to develop 21st century skills (critical thinking, collaboration, creativity, and communication) empowering students ages 6-14 years old to be STEAM-ready. Children demonstrated increased interest, engagement, and proficiency in STEAM and advanced social-emotional skillsets.
