PROGRAM INFORMATION
Short Description
Save Our Sons program is a Workforce Development initiative that was designed by the Urban League of Metropolitan St. Louis to address the urgent need for creating jobs for African American males and others in the region who are underemployed or have no employment at all. Many of the unemployed men live in high poverty and crime communities and some are considered hard to employ for various reasons. By working with them to become gainfully employed, the Save Our Sons program will work to lower the unemployment rate for African American men; get them on the road to financial self-sufficiency; deter them from crimes and contribute to stabilizing the communities that they live in.
