Rise STL YP Board

This past Tuesday, Planning Area IV hosted a community meeting at Friendly Temple Church, and Rise Young Professionals were proud to attend and volunteer

Planning Area IV is part of the City’s PlanSTL Neighborhood Planning Initiative, bringing together seven neighborhoods—College Hill, Fairground, O’Fallon, Penrose, Hamilton Heights, Kingsway West, and Wells-Goodfellow—to create a shared, action-focused plan for the future.

Together with partners at Rise, MKSK Studios, Development Strategies, and Added Dimension, this work centers on community voices and focuses on housing, retail, mobility, parks, and workforce development to drive real investment and impact.

We’re grateful to be part of the work and excited to keep showing up for our communities 💛

We’re back! 👋 We spent Saturday learning about affordable housing in St. Louis with community leaders and the team, and we’re planning big things for 2026. Stay tuned for more details about projects, events, and more.
