A Seat at the Table exists to bridge the gap between youth groups and adulthood
by providing faith-based fostering for high-character but at-risk 18 to 25 year olds. 

OUR
MISSION
The mission of A Seat at the Table is to help high-character but at-risk 18 to 25-year olds better transition into thriving, independent adulthood by providing faith-based fostering.

OUR
VISION
Our vision is to address a critical societal problem of at-risk young adults through a unique partnership of Christian churches and Partner Youth Organizations. Churches nominate House Parents and come behind them with volunteers and financial support. Partner Youth Organizations nominate high-character but at-risk young adults in need of a stable home environment. 

Our House Parents provide housing, emotional support, structure and meals around the table while also coordinating resources as needed.
