Wyman Leaders supports 535 St. Louis teens annually as they enter and complete college and career education programs, develop life and leadership skills, and create strong connections to their communities. Wyman Leaders is a 9 year program – from rising 9th graders through four years of postsecondary education – and participants are recruited from partner middle schools in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and Jefferson County.

Delivered in St. Louis by Wyman to 575 teens, and to 23,000 teens nationally by our network of partners, the Teen Outreach Program (TOP) empowers teens with the tools and opportunities to develop social-emotional skills, build healthy relationships and community connections, develop a sense of purpose, and avoid risky behaviors. TOP promotes positive youth development through engaging curriculum, community service learning, and supportive relationships with adults. TOP is a 9 month program serving teens from 6th through 12th grade.

The Teen Connection Project (TCP) is a 12-14 week program designed to improve peer relationships, social-emotional skills, school belonging/engagement, and well-being among high school youth. Between 2016 and 2020, over 400 young people participated in TCP delivered by Wyman in the St. Louis area and by our national partners in their communities. In 2021, TCP implementation was expanded to 5 new Missouri sites with a grant from the Missouri Foundation for Health.
