Mission Statement
The mission of FOCUS St. Louis is to work toward a thriving St. Louis region through civic leadership education, connecting leaders across sectors, and facilitating the big important conversations our region needs to have.
Description
We offer a continuum of civic leadership education programs and community forums, with curricula designed for high school students up through our region's CEOs, to better prepare them to engage with their communities, lead across difference, and work collaboratively to improve our region. Our alumni understand the social and economic issues that affect our region, such as healthcare, education, criminal justice, and economic development; they emerge prepared to make change and networked with like-minded change-makers. People who attend our forums discover vibrant conversations about relevant, critical topics, and leave better informed and able to form independent opinions. We aim to build a critical mass of educated, mobilized leaders who can drive our region forward economically, socially, and in the civic arena.
