A Seat at the Table exists to bridge the gap between youth groups and adulthood
by providing residential mentoring and community resources in a Christian family environment
​for at-risk 18 to 25 year olds. 
On Dec. 11, former LOVEtheLOU and Boys Hope Girls Hope standout, Jamel Williams, moved into our  A Seat at the Table home, joining Resident Intern Joe Lewis III and host parents, Bob and Chrissy Stergos.  You can read more about Jamel’s background and goals in our latest newsletter posted under our News & Events tab.  If you haven’t done so already, please reach out to welcome and encourage Jamel here, or connect with him on Facebook or LinkedIn.  To Jamel, Joe and all our A Seat at the Table supporters and volunteers, we wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! 

OUR
MISSION
The mission of A Seat at the Table is to help at-risk 18 to 25-year olds better transition into adulthood by providing residential mentoring and community resources in a Christian family environment.

OUR
VISION
The vision of A Seat at the Table is to surround at-risk and under-resourced young adults with much-needed resources within an atmosphere of a Christian family. House parents provide emotional support, structure and dinners around the table while also coordinating resources such as counseling, educational assistance, basic financial and budgeting education and vocational coaching (among other needs unique to the individual) as the resident moves toward independence.
