Next American Vanguard

Next American Vanguard, an annual conference held this October in St. Louis, gathers the country’s best and brightest urban advocates. Our attendees are high-level, creative and ambitious people 39 years old or younger who seek to improve their cities and work for local non-profit organizations, in city government, as social entrepreneurs, artists and in other related fields. Each year, we select 40 people who have demonstrated their ability to have an impact on their city or the national dialogue about urban issues and bring them together for an inspiring series of presentations, workshops, tours and other activities.
