AWARENESS. OPPORTUNITY. LISTENING. LEADERSHIP.

We are building a safe St. Pete where our kids have the resources they need to thrive.

As a Pillar for Progress - Education & Youth Opportunity - is at the foundation of our mission. St. Pete's youth are the future of our city, and having programs and resources in place to keep kids safe and help them succeed is critical. Not only do we need to meet their basic needs - safe housing, access to healthy and affordable food, and quality education - but we need to ensure they feel empowered to explore their interests and most importantly...have fun!

Mayor Welch affirms his commitment to the City’s youth, their families, and the community with a multi-pronged initiative with a fourfold plan that centers around awareness, opportunity, listening, and leadership.
