Stomp The World

What Stomp The World does

Stomp The World is a St. Louis, Missouri-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded in 2016 (with early operations consolidated by 2017) that delivers out-of-classroom educational and life-experience programming for youth. Its service mix includes tutoring, movement and dance classes, after-school programming, field trips, summer camp, and community events such as the "Daddy and Me" series; the organization also operates a recurring book club priced at $25/month. To date it has cumulatively served more than 1,000 children, with a recent summer camp cohort of 78 campers.

The organization distributes programming primarily through a network of 16 partner STAR Inc. centers, which serve as the physical access points for participants. Programmatic delivery relies heavily on volunteers rather than paid staff at scale, and the organization has no disclosed proprietary technology or digital platform — engagement is community-driven and in-person. Fall 2026 is slated to bring two formal product launches: a Middle School Boys Book Club and a structured After School Program, signaling a shift from informal offerings to more defined product lines.

Revenue is generated through a hybrid of donations (the dominant stream given the 501(c)(3) status) and modest program fees from the book club. Free offerings such as "Daddy and Me" anchor community goodwill and family engagement. Leadership comprises co-founders Mark Cohen (Founder and Executive Director) and Kevin Lee, with a six-person board headed by Jessica Schlager (President) and including Timere Lee, Jodi Miller, Dwayne Russell, Felicia Shelby, and Kayla Adams. The organization has not disclosed grant funding rounds, contracts, or major donor commitments in the available data.
