As we prepare for our 2024-25 program year, we're always on the lookout for community partners who can host our cohorts and events. Does your organization have space available? Group sizes range from 30 to 150 participants, and we have hosting opportunities on weekdays and Saturdays. If your organization is interested in providing space, please contact Cate Hanford at cateh@focus-stl.org. If your organization can't physically host, you can still show your support through a program day or event sponsorship, which helps cover the cost of meals and other logistics. Contact Michelle Stevens at michelles@focus-stl.org for details on sponsorship opportunities.
