HOW IT WORKS

1. Nomination

A Seat at the Table accepts applications from under-resourced 18-25 year olds who have been nominated by our great youth-oriented partner organizations such as Urban K-Life, Angels’ Arms, Lift for Life Gym, Boys Hope Girls Hope and youth groups from churches such as The Tabernacle in north St. Louis and Living the Word Church in East St. Louis.  

2. Placement

A Seat at the Table’s unique service will be to place accepted applicants into one of our residential mentoring options, headed up by participating "parents."

Two “residential” models will be offered by A Seat at the Table:
An apartment building in which a “house mom & dad” care for up to
four (4) participants
An existing home in which a couple or family agrees to take in at least one participant

3. Resources Provided

A Seat at the Table partners with providers in crucial personal development areas to provide needed resources on a case-by-case basis for our program participants:

Educational/Vocational/Life-Skills

Counseling
