When we talk about workforce development in St. Louis…
This is what it looks like.
Through our partnership with Harris-Stowe State University, Confluence scholars aren’t just learning career skills—they’re stepping into them.
✔️ Styling professional outfits
✔️ Gaining real-world confidence
✔️ Designing pieces that give back to the next student
From the classroom to the Hornet Boutique, this is how education connects to opportunity.
Because access builds confidence.
And confidence shapes futures.

🏛️Our Educators for Gun Safety Student Ambassadors visited the Missouri State Capitol this week to advocate for safer communities and engage directly with state leaders. Students had the opportunity to speak with State Senator Brian Williams @teambrianwilliams and were formally recognized in the House by State Representative Steve Butz. @steve.butz
They also watched as House members debated a bill focused on eliminating the state income tax on the House floor.⚖️
We look forward to continuing to work with local and state leaders to seek solutions for safer communities. #confluenceacademies #educatorsforgunsafety #MOGov
