The core of our work at Wyman is to partner with young people to help them achieve educational and career success, life and leadership skills, and healthy behaviors and relationships. Each of our three programs, though different, include the experiences young people need to reach these goals.

Helping teens build their life and leadership skills is especially important in our Teen Connection Project (TCP) which offers lessons designed to help participants develop skills like problem solving, communication, decision making, and empathy – all of which contribute to academic and life success.

Week by week, TCP participants share their personal experiences and learn how to solve problems, communicate effectively, and build healthy, sustainable connections with others.

TCP Lesson #4 is all about conflict and communications. The participants reflect on how they’d like a friend to respond when coming to them with a problem, and some helpful, and maybe not so helpful, ways people respond. They discuss ways to be a more supportive listener and they explore how their responses to conflict could impact connections with others- it can be a barrier, or it can serve as a tool to deepen those connections.

This lesson, and more are critical to helping TCP participants build life and leadership skills that will positively impact their academic engagement, success after high school, and overall wellbeing.

⭐Join Wyman in celebrating our 127th anniversary by making a gift of $127 to our Capital Campaign!⭐

On March 12, 1898, Wyman was created as a space for the children of St. Louis to experience fresh air, nourishing food, and character-building experiences. Since then, we have continually evolved as the needs of young people have changed, but our commitment to teens has remained.

As we prepare for the future, we know that we can serve more youth, families, and community organizations with improvements to the site. Safe, dependent, and efficient upgrades will better serve teens and our community - and be more cost effective for Wyman to maintain well into the future. 🏕️

Help us meet our challenge TODAY! We still need to raise $77,739 to receive our challenge grant – and you can help us hit this goal with your gift of $127 at https://hubs.ly/Q03bqpYC0

The core of our work at Wyman is to partner with young people to help them achieve educational and career success, life and leadership skills, and healthy behaviors and relationships. Each of our three programs, though different, include the experiences young people need to reach these goals.

Helping teens achieve educational and career success is especially important in Wyman Leaders, which offers coaching, exploration of postsecondary education, exposure to careers fields, and help with college affordability.

Each summer, Wyman Leaders have the opportunity to participate in a Career Fair. We invite individuals and organizations from our community to speak to teens about their fields, experiences, and organizations. This gives teens the chance to learn about new career fields and to learn more about a career they were already interested in.

Additionally, each year juniors have the chance to go on college tours. Not only do they get to explore different campuses and learn about educational programs of interest, but they stay on campus and experience college life first hand.

These opportunities, and more, are critical to helping Wyman Leaders teens explore and access different educational and career opportunities – allowing them to make plans for their future and define what success looks like for them.

"Recent executive orders, federal funding freezes, and conflicting viewpoints disrupt an often-unseen network of nonprofit organizations across our country. Impacting millions of lives daily, these organizations provide a social safety net of critical care and support to our nation’s most important resource – our people. The social safety net delivers services making our country stronger."

The core of our work at Wyman is to partner with young people to help them achieve educational and career success, life and leadership skills, and healthy behaviors and relationships. Each of our three programs, though different, include the experiences young people need to reach these goals.

Helping teens learn to develop healthy behaviors and relationships is especially important in our Teen Outreach Program (TOP) which offers several lessons designed to help participants strengthen relationships, set boundaries, resolve conflicts, and advocate for themselves.

The TOP lesson ‘Introduction to Healthy Relationships’ gives teens the opportunity to discuss healthy vs. unhealthy relationships with their peers. Then, as a group, they create a shared understanding of rights (such as the right to feel safe) and responsibilities (such as the responsibility to respect the other person) that an individual has in a relationship.

Additionally, the lesson ‘Advocating for Yourself’ helps teens learn how to communicate assertively and advocate for themselves. They learn that we all have the right to express our feelings, ask for what we need/want, and say ‘no’ when we choose to.

These lessons, and more, are critical to helping TOP teens develop healthy behaviors and relationships now and in the future.

Did you know? 92% of executives say that social-emotional skills - like problem solving and communication - are equally or more important than technical skills? And research shows that social-emotional skills (also known as 'life skills') are vital and go ‘hand-in-hand’ with academic and life success.

Programs - like Wyman's Teen Outreach Program, Teen Connection Project, and Wyman Leaders - that help students develop these skills are preparing them to not only succeed in school, but to be better prepared for their future careers.
