Wyman’s 125th Anniversary
For 125 years, Wyman has believed in the power of teens.
Wyman was founded in 1898 to provide St. Louis youth with the opportunity for outdoor and character-building experiences. Over the last 125 years, our work has continually evolved as the world and needs of young people have changed. But one thing has remained the same: our commitment to teens.
Now, Wyman is part of the lives of more than 3,000 St. Louis area youth and nearly 30,000 nationally every year. By partnering with youth, our community, and youth-centered organizations across the country, Wyman empowers teens, equips adults, and strengthens systems to create more equitable opportunities for all young people; helping them prepare for the future they want.
Join us this year as we celebrate this historic milestone – honoring our roots that allowed us to grow and develop into a youth-centered, impactful local organization.
