Programming takes place year-round at our new location at 5959 Delmar Blvd. in the Loop East. The largest portion of the 200+ youth we serve each year are apprentices in ArtWorks’ Summer Program. Since 1995, youth apprentices in the Summer Program have been hired through a competitive application process in which artistic talent and personal motivation are employment criteria. Past apprentices who successfully finish the summer program by showing leadership, talent, and interest are invited to continue working in the fall and spring programs.

Harambee is a Swahili word which means “let’s pull together!” Harambee Youth Training has its roots in a small ministry of New City Fellowship of St. Louis (NCF) that was begun in 1996 to give job training and mentoring to a few young men. Today, Harambee has grown into a separate 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization which partners with many other local churches, businesses, and organizations. We use a combination of volunteer community service projects and classroom training to give at-risk urban youth an opportunity to learn a healthy work ethic, self-discipline, confidence, and team dynamics as well as profitable skills in the construction trades. Harambee is a part of our commitment to the West End and Hamilton Heights neighborhoods of Saint Louis city. Since 1996, teens from these neighborhoods have worked in connection with NCF in landscaping, general property maintenance, roofing and light construction (painting, tuckpointing & framing). Today our sole concentration is in tuckpointing. NOTE: We are located in the United States. If you are in South Africa, you are looking for Harambee Youth Employment Accelerator in Johannesburg.

Core Values: Respect for All Uncompromising respect for human dignity is the foundation upon which Neighborhood Houses was built. We fundamentally value people and are always mindful of individual circumstances and points of view. We are committed to fostering communities of inclusiveness, equality and fairness – – ones that empower families and inspire children to aspire to greatness. Faith & Stewardship Our faith-based legacy implores us to be vigilant in assessing and responding to community needs and, in the spirit of exemplary stewardship of our mission, we work relentlessly to provide quality resources to those who are experiencing social injustice. Resilience & Empowerment We believe that resilience is a critical element of personal character that can be built in all of us, despite socio-economic conditions. Individuals should always be viewed as optimal agents of their own personal growth, but in no way does this mean that the road toward resilience should be traveled alone. Quality Programs & Caring Staff By providing effective educational services, youth programs and a caring, dedicated staff, Neighborhood Houses is supporting the growth of children into productive, engaged adults, and we are helping parents become confident advocates for their own families. Yet, in humble recognition of our own limitations, we are constantly building and cultivating partnerships to enhance our skills and broaden our perspectives. This belief of communalism will forever be engrained Neighborhood Houses and in all that we do.

In the autumn of 2010, several women who had sung together in other groups gathered to establish the Missouri Women's Chorus and had the very good fortune to engage Scott Schoonover as Artistic Director. Auditions were held in January, 2011 to form the first group of 24 singers in the Chorus and work began immediately on our first concert. The first of two a capella concerts held during 2011 occurred on May 1, performed at Union Avenue Christian Church, St. Louis, Missouri. Titled Amore, Sacred and Profane, this concert explored the theme of love in both sacred and secular contexts and featured early Spanish works, 16-century madrigals, Brahms part-songs and contemporary motets. The second concert of 2011 was held on December 3 at Christ Church Cathedral in downtown St. Louis, Missouri. Titled Mystic Nativity, this was a Christmas concert comprised of works devoted to the figure of the Virgin Mary, and the performance was enthusiastically received by a standing-room-only audience. Our first concert of 2012 was held on May 6 at The Chapel for the Arts in Clayton, Missouri. Two back-to-back performances allowed us to accommodate our audience at this small venue. In a more relaxed setting, where listeners could enjoy a glass of wine or other beverage, we sang of Fair Phyllis and Other Naughty Shepherdesses: A Renaissance Cabaret. We were fortunate to be accompanied by local artists Tracy Andreotti on cello, Mary McKenney on recorder and Jeff Noonan on lute.
