It is intended that graduates of this program facilitate Leadership Skill Seminars and Orientation St. Louis Series programs and other Metropolis and community events. On two weekends each year, the newly elected Metropolis Steering Committee members attend customized leadership skills training, building their abilities to lead Metropolis effectively. Supported by an experienced mentoring team, the project group completes a project that creates positive change for the City of St. Louis. The Metropolis Network fosters and builds mentor relationships and cross-generational interactions while broadening the community's awareness of the contribution young people can make to the City. Participants attend two Orientation St. Louis Seminars, two Leadership Skills seminars and attend a networking event or recruit a mentor that is actively involved in a St. Louis city-based community group.
Participants have one year to complete the program and a city-based community project.
The City is Back. Back the City.
