Overview
The St. Louis Balkan American Connection (STLBAC) is a volunteer-led 501(c)(3) founded in February 2021 by three friends to expand mentorship for the next generation of the Balkan-American community in St. Louis. It connects students with experienced professionals through one-on-one mentoring, skill-building workshops, networking events, academic guidance and scholarships, funded by individual, corporate and foundation support and paid memberships.
Approach
A site organised around the two things a visitor can do: find a mentor or support the work. A directory of 130 mentors is grouped by industry with introductions requested through the contact form, success stories open as cards, the team page links to a profile for each of twelve board members and volunteers, and animated counters carry the impact numbers. Donations and the four membership tiers hand off to Donorbox.
Art Direction
A deep ink header and footer with cobalt, teal and peach accents that shift by page, Urbanist throughout.
