Mission St Louis

Beyond justice, in collaboration with the 22nd judicial circuit, works with recently arrested individuals in the city court system to reduce recidivism and provide social services. In 2024, beyond justice provided 685 resources and services to 100 individuals, of which, 65 were able to resolved their cases. Show me peace, located in satellite offices in four of the highest crime neighborhoods in st. Louis, reduces violence in high-risk communities through conflict mediation, violence intervention, and social services. In the first full year of programming, show me peace intervened in 125 violent situations resulting in substantial reduction of fire-arm related crimes in those four areas by 17% from the previous year.

Beyond school is a free, expanded learning opportunity with a proven track record of helping students in need of learning recovery close the achievement gap. Success heavily relies on school collaboration, which is why we are embedded in four partner schools. Daily activities focus on areas that lower the risk of high school dropout: academic achievement, social and emotional learning, and engagement. Individualized academic plans are developed for each student and implemented with low adult-to-student ratios. Students learn social and emotional skills through curriculums based on empirical evidence. During the 2023-2024 school year, beyond school served 243 students with 92% maintained/increased their grades in reading, math, and/or science.
