City Academy’s Friends Committee is a group of professionals devoted to transforming lives through education. The Friends Committee is dedicated to cultivating new relationships with individuals and organizations throughout the St. Louis community. Our Friends Committee supports our students and their families through volunteering, hosting events, and fundraising for our scholarship program.

Friends enjoy opportunities to meet other young professionals who are also passionate about education. If you are interested in becoming a City Academy Friend, please contact Vernique May at VMay@CityAcademySTL.org.
