At Activate Missouri, we are passionate about equipping students with the tools, resources, and support they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Through our dynamic Student Programming, we inspire young minds to dream big, take action, and become catalysts for positive change in their communities.
We believe every student deserves the opportunity to succeed. Our programs are designed to bridge gaps, spark potential, and provide students across Missouri with the tools they need to excel academically, socially, and as future leaders.
This summer, we are seeking 15 high school juniors, seniors or recent grads who are passionate about creating equitable schools in St. Louis and ready to build lifelong advocacy skills.
Youth leaders who are accepted into the cohort will participate in a paid fellowship from June 5th-June 30th.

When Shae Lowman moved back to St. Louis, after more than 15 years away, the city had changed — there was more crime, specifically gun violence — and so had Lowman’s life. Now she had a small daughter to care for.
The Activate STL team selected Rachelle for this award due to her deep involvement with Activate’s parent leadership programming and persistent state-level advocacy. Rachelle has demonstrated a deep commitment to improving education in our community and will continue her work as the newest board member for Activate STL.
Today marks the beginning of Parent and Family Involvement in Education Week. This week resonates deeply with us at The Opportunity Trust; we know how important engaged family members are for accelerating student growth and improving academic outcomes.
This is why we partner with organizations like Activate STL, who listen to the concerns of families and community members and organizes and mobilizes to support equitable school choices, and Navigate STL Schools, who help families learn about the local school options and empowers parents to make the informed decisions about their children’s education.
This month on our podcast we talk to Tiara Jordan, Founder and Executive Director of Activate STL. The organization is dedicated to educating, training and uplifting parents and their voices to ensure access to quality school options.
Listen to this episode to learn more about how the organization is mobilizing and organizing parents.
