Mission

The St. Louis Workers’ Education Society (WES) educates and trains St. Louis residents, especially people of color, women and youth, to become community leaders. Our focus is on the intersection of workers’ rights, racial justice, sexual and gender-minority rights and disabilities empowerment. Additionally, WES acts as a small business and grassroots organization incubator. We facilitate on-going worker-education campaigns, partnering and advising union and community groups, to build a permanent culture of worker-education in St. Louis.
