Anti-Violence Youth Programming (Prop S)

The Office of Violence Prevention is responsible for the administration of Anti-Violence Youth Program contracts awarded through Proposition S.

Overview

Prop S, sponsored by Lewis Reed and approved by St. Louis voters in 2008 with Ordinance Number 67794, allocates funding for anti-violence youth programs. Each fiscal year, $1 million is funded through annual proceeds of a sales tax that are initially deposited into a City Public Safety Protection Sales Tax Fund.

Prop S awards have been used to fund programs that have supported academic and social-emotional needs, and some have also provided workforce education and opportunities. Programs, clubs, and camps have offered opportunities in the arts, music, fitness, sports, and more.
