Our Employment Programs
We offer various programs for job-seekers in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and Illinois.
Wraparound Services
We recognize that, in order to maintain employment, clients may need additional supportive services. That is why we also offer housing and mental health services to qualifying participants in our programs.
Referral Only Services
In partnership with the St. Louis City and St. Louis County continuum of care, we provide additional housing services. These services are by referral only through 2-1-1 or local shelters.
Violence Prevention
Employment Connection manages the Violence Prevention Program in Peabody Darst Webbe/LaSalle Park, with more programs planned in other neighborhoods. Our Violence Prevention Program aims to reduce gun violence through conflict mediation and resolution and provide wraparound services to help at-risk people escape the cycle of violence.

Our programs are funded in part by









Some activities are financed in part through an allocation of St. Louis Continuum of Care funds from the Department of Human Services, Homeless Division as well as an allocation of Community Development Block Grant funds from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the City of St. Louis' Community Development Administration.
