Program Coordinator (Creative Design)

The Little Bit Foundation works to break down barriers to learning for under-resourced students through partnerships and programs that serve the needs of the whole child and provide access to essential services and experiences. Programs are aligned with district and school performance goals and provide for the needs of the whole child. Working one-on-one with students, we support personal care, classroom readiness, literacy, and health and wellness. Through our high school programming, we help students stay focused on learning and on track for graduation, as well as plan beyond graduation. The results are positive personal growth and increased self-esteem in students, impacted by poverty, leading to improved attendance, behavior, and academic success.
The Little Bit Foundation is about empowering students to achieve their academic goals and dreams for the future and uplifting them with words of encouragement and the knowledge that someone cares and believes in them. Through a small team of about 35 employees and a volunteer base contributing over 16,000 volunteer hours each year, The Little Bit Foundation is currently serving approximately 17,000 students in 54 area schools. Since its founding in 2001, The Little Bit Foundation has impacted 60,000 students in St. Louis City, St. Louis County, and St. Clair County in Illinois.
