What We Do
THREE PILLARS.
ONE MISSION.
Every program at Camp Joven is designed to connect St. Louis youth — ages 12 to 18 — to the arts, to opportunity, and to each other.
CREATIVE & PERFORMING ARTS
Find Your Voice. Own the Stage.
Through music, theater, dance, spoken word, and visual arts, young people discover who they are and share it with the world. Our Creative Arts program builds confidence, discipline, and self-expression — skills that carry far beyond the stage.

- Theater production & acting workshops
- Hip-hop, contemporary & cultural dance
- Spoken word & poetry performance
- Visual arts & digital media creation
- Annual showcase & community performances
JOB & CAREER PREPARATION

We bridge the gap between ambition and opportunity. From résumé writing to professional networking, our Career Prep program connects St. Louis teens with the tools, mentors, and real-world experience they need to launch careers they're proud of.
- Résumé writing & interview coaching
- Mock interviews with industry professionals
- Financial literacy & money management
- Internship & job placement support
- Entrepreneurship & business basics
- College prep & scholarship guidance
INVESTING IN ONESELF & COMMUNITY

- Mental health & wellness workshops
- Civic engagement & voter education
- Community service projects
