About Wyman
OUR BELIEFS AND VISION
We are experts in working with teens and young adults, and we have an unrelenting belief in their power to positively shape their world. We believe every young person possesses the talent and potential to succeed and lead; needs healthy connections with caring adults and peers; and deserves quality educational and life experiences, unencumbered by economic and systemic barriers. We envision a day when ALL young people thrive.
WHAT WE DO
Wyman is a nonprofit organization with a local and national impact. Our direct service programs support more than 1,100 young people each year. We extend our reach through partnerships locally and nationally to support more than 2,500 young people in the St. Louis area, and more than 25,000 across the country.
Teens in Wyman’s three proven programs build confidence, life and leadership skills, and strong connections to peers, caring adults, and their communities – preparing them for the futures they want.
We partner with organizations and schools in more than 30 states, training and guiding partners to deliver our programs to teens in their communities. We advocate with and for young people to strengthen the systems that shape their education, mental health, and opportunities.
