Steward's Staff meets the 20 Standards for Charity Accountability.

The Steward’s Staff programming focus is on interpersonal development and community engagement. This programming differentiates The Steward's Staff from many organizations providing youth services, as we fully engage the input of our constituency with all of our services and programming, thus our tag, “Leading by being Led.” The Steward’s Staff aims to empower the next generation’s members of society and community and business leaders to think critically, ethically and with compassion. We aim to empower youth to build productive, sustainable communities through their care for their fellow man. The Steward’s Staff has its core program offerings: The ETHICS Society, focusing on leadership development and community engagement; Transitions Mentoring Group (TMG), focusing on female adulthood readiness; United Success Academy (USA), a mentoring network designed for males aged 12-19; and ‘MY WORLD Talks, a community forum on diversity.
