In 2008, Provident served almost 600 children in the 63115 and 63147 zip codes, one of the most violent crime ridden communities in the City of St. Louis and non of them were charged with a crime last year. The youth ages 6-21 years of age were involved in a wide range of neighborhood based programs that include: after school programs at the Shreve Neighborhood Center, Ashland Elementary, Herzog Elementary, a program for youth that dropped out of high school called Transitions to Work for Youth and a community development program call the Self-Reliant Communities Initiative.
