​The Fresh Start Community Coalition is a St. Louis-based organization that works to empower families and find fresh ways to impact those affected by poverty, crime, and drugs. Our programs focus on prevention and providing resources and education to help people in our neighborhoods rise above poverty and become productive citizens.

We truly believe that every family deserves the chance to thrive. We do the work to combat the cyclical nature of substance misuse and poverty specifically in the North St. Louis city & counties. We strive to get back to the well-known theory– “It takes a village.”

Our Mission

​Empowering families

​Family structure and moral values are at an ultimate decline these days. We believe that it takes a village to raise children. Our Active Parents program offers skill-building support to promote healthy growth in our children and families.
