Saint Louis University's Transformative Workforce Academy is in partnership with Victory Mission.

In the Springfield region of Missouri, TWA collocates at Victory Mission. Through various programs including a mobile food pantry, emergency shelter, residential recovery, and workforce development, Victory Mission seeks to help people leaving poverty to rebuild their lives and gain independence.  Many of their participants are justice-involved and seeking to overcome barriers to employment. 

At Victory Mission, TWA works primarily with individuals who began services pre-release (at FCC, MECC, NECC, or WERDCC) to connect them with employment in Columbia and the surrounding areas.  TWA coordinates with Victory Mission to refer to wraparound services offered at the agency and beyond.  The program also cultivates fair chance employer partnerships to be shared by participants from both organizations.
