Rep. Steven Roberts, St. Louis Legislator - Working to Help At-Risk Youth

Missouri State Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. represents constituents throughout portions of St. Louis City – a district that covers a section of the city from the central corridor northwest to the riverfront. 


As such, Roberts works hard to sponsor and support legislation that makes a difference for those throughout his community – particularly those facing significant struggles and disadvantages.

During the most recent session of the Missouri General Assembly, Rep. Steven Roberts Jr. of St. Louis was proud to sponsor and testify on behalf of HB 1321 – a bill that would have required the Adjutant General of the Missouri National Guard to officially establish the Youth Challenge Academy. 



The Academy, if/when in place, would provide school-aged, at-risk youth a resource of support – positive interventions that proponents argue would lead to positive, meaningful results.

HB 1321 made significant progress last session – though the last movement on the bill was its referral to the House Committee on Legislative Oversight.
