This year, teens enrolled in Southside’s Teen Outreach Program (TOP) received a Youth Mini-Grant from the St. Louis Mental Health Board that supported their service learning project aimed at helping individuals who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The youth partnered with The St. Patrick Center for this project and prepared sandwiches and baked goods (183 sandwiches, 105 chocolate chip cookies, and 32 brownies to be exact!) for use in programs; organized a hygiene product donation drive at their schools; and volunteered at City Seeds Urban Farm, a horticultural job training program for St. Patrick Center clients through a partnership with Gateway Greening.
On Saturday August 14th, TOP participants will join other area youth to share their project with the community at a Youth Showcase presented by the St. Louis Mental Health Board. Through the guidance of Jackie Masei, founder and director of Playback Workshop Theater and teaching artist for the Southside Summer Arts Program, the teens will use Playback Theater to present moments from their service learning project. We invite you to come to the Youth Showcase to learn about and support the great work that Southside TOP teens and other St. Louis youth have accomplished in the community this year!
What: St. Louis Mental Health Board Youth Showcase
When:: Saturday, August 14, 2010, 2:00-4:00pm
Where:: Gateway Classic Foundation, 2012 Dr. Martin Luther King Drive

Why:
The event’s tagline, “The Stakes are High,” refers not only to race wagers, but to the crucial work that Wyman does on behalf of St. Louis teens. All proceeds from the Spring Derby support the economically disadvantaged teens in our community, benefiting from Wyman programs. Wyman are experts in developing teens – taking the best in teen development theory and making it real and effective for the young people we serve. The goal of Wyman programs is to enable our teens to become economically self-sufficient, leaders in their community and, ultimately, break the cycle of poverty.
Guests at the 2009 Wyman Spring Derby take a break from the betting action for a quick picture.
You are invited to join us for an evening with Wyman’s Young Leaders Board and Friends to learn how you, too, can become a “Friend of Wyman.”
The Friends of Wyman work closely with the Wyman Young Leaders Board in helping to raise awareness and funds to benefit St. Louis teens from disadvantaged circumstances.
Advantages of being a friend?
• Help St. Louis teens to break the cycle of poverty and go on to lead successful lives and build strong communities
• Networking, leadership, and service opportunities
• Interaction with emerging leader peer group
• Opportunities to advance to the Wyman Young Leaders Board
So whether you already know a bunch about Wyman or are new to our organization, please, come out, bring a friend and make new ones while supporting a great cause! We hope to see you there!
