Help, Support, Guide, Mentor & More

Lifting Up STL is a nonprofit organization that provides a helping hand through guidance and education while also administering services and support to individuals and families in the St. Louis community.

“Give a man a fish and feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.”

With the goal of producing lifelong change, our team will provide a range of guidance offering the following services and programs. Our vision is to help uplift the St. Louis community in any way that we can. That could be helping individuals create lifelong change in their own lives or helping groups of people to make our city a more peaceful and inclusive place to live. 


Community Benefit

People of all ages are struggling for a multitude of reasons. Some have lacked guidance since childhood, some have been dealt extremely difficult situations and some are just stuck in an unproductive rut. Our goal is to help individuals in our St. Louis community get back on the right path. 

Our Pillars

  • Individual

    Provide one-on-one guidance, mentoring, and financial support for someone who is struggling but is willing to change the direction of their life. Our team will set up a life plan and provide a road map to help them get back on the right path.

  • Group

    Lifting Up STL host free group classes, workshops, and our Brain Awareness Program that will provide education and encouragement to those who attend.

  • Community

    Support the St. Louis community through donation drives, fundraisers, and spontaneous community support.
