Wyman Center is a nonprofit organization based in St. Louis, Missouri that partners with communities to provide teens with the supports and opportunities they need to survive AND thrive in life.

MISSION
Wyman’s mission is to enable teens from economically disadvantaged circumstances to lead successful lives and build strong communities.
WHO DO WE SERVE?
Wyman serves youth aged 11 to 18 in greater St. Louis and nationally who are economically disadvantaged and whose circumstances create risk of lower life opportunities.
HOW DO WE SERVE?
- By providing highly effective programs that are rooted in youth development research and evidence based approaches;
- delivering programs directly in St. Louis;
- building and managing a network of partners that deliver programs regionally and nationally;
- identifying gaps in youth services and implementing solutions to address them; and
- advocating for evidence-based, highly effective youth development programs to influence providers and policy makers.
WHAT ARE THE OUTCOMES?
Our programs enable youth to become self-confident, compassionate and accountable; lead, plan, problem solve and communicate; be successful in school and in life; and be well prepared to act as contributing students, family members, employees and citizens. Teens in Wyman programs are achieving grade level advancement on time, graduating high school, moving on to college and developing a sense of responsibility for themselves and their communities.
WE ARE 110 YEARS OLD AND COUNTING
Founded in 1898 by a group of prominent St. Louis citizens, Wyman’s original purpose was to provide children living in sweltering tenements with fresh air, good food and healthy outdoor activities. In the year 2000, Wyman narrowed its focus to the particular, and increasingly complex, needs of today’s teens by developing and administering long-term, outcome-based programs to help teens find meaning and purpose, develop healthy lifestyles, and then share their success with their communities.
