East Meets West of Troost is an economic development Not For Profit corporation that is dedicated to markedly improving the economic commerce exchange in both the East and West side of Troost.
We are bridging the gap between neighborhoods in Kansas City, Missouri, and the Greater Kansas City Missouri Area.
This will allow small Urban businesses, cultural groups, vendors and artists economic opportunities who would otherwise lack economic development assistance.
Some of our main projects are Green Careers, Urban Farming, and Recycling efforts to raise funds for At-Risk Youth programs.
We also provide counseling and support with our community services and incarcerated re-entry programs.
Kansas City Missouri's Youth are faced with a lot of issues that are commonly overlooked such as Homelessness, Sexual Abuse, Child Neglect, Abduction, Latch-key children, Gang violence, Homicide, Incarceration, Literacy, Proper Education, and Child Poverty...

EMWOT is dedicated to the sharing of experiences, best practices and methods for achieving sustainability in our personal lives, our communities and our Ecosystems.
As Troost put behind it the dividing line that separated the races, Blacks moved south across the 27th street, race boundary line to Linwood, to Brush Creek, to 63rd street and eventually to Bannister and beyond, as white flight moved to gated communities and further west of Troost. As new neighborhoods are built, EMWOT plays its role in organizing an economically sustainable community.
