Description

The Table is a free 4-week life skills program designed for young adults ages 18 to 25 at the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles. This program creates a welcoming space where participants can connect, build confidence, and gain practical tools for everyday life. Through weekly sessions, participants explore topics such as financial literacy, career and education pathways, responsible use of social media, stress management, health and wellbeing, and leadership development.
Each two-hour session includes a hands-on workshop followed by time to build community over food and social connection. Participants who complete the full program receive a certificate of completion, a $500 stipend*, and a YMCA membership through their 26th birthday*. The Table is more than a class or workshop. It is a supportive environment where young adults can grow, build relationships, and take meaningful steps toward their future.

*To qualify for the free YMCA membership and the $500 stipend, you must be a transitional age youth (age 18-25) who was formerly in foster care (the YMCA partners with DCFS to confrim eligibility).
