Youth Residency: "At the Table" Student Showcase

Join us for an inspiring evening at the Harvey B. Gantt Center as we celebrate the third cohort of Youth Residency: At the Table, presented in partnership with My Brother’s Keeper Charlotte Mecklenburg. During this special event, talented high school students will showcase projects and ideas developed through meaningful collaboration with community organizations, local leaders, and nonprofit partners.  In addition to their own works of art based on their youth residency experience.

Students will showcase work created in partnership with Our Daily Bread Foundation and the CMS Student Athlete Association Council, and The Mint, highlighting projects focused on marketing, storytelling, and community engagement. A reception will follow the presentations.

What is the At the Table Youth Residency Program?

The At the Table youth residency model, led by #CharlotteYouth, emphasizes collaboration among district, charter, private, and homeschool entities. The program involves high school students guiding programming through pop-ups and community engagement at the Gantt Center for the 2025-26 season. Participants gain exposure to marketing, design, business development, and the arts. These students serve as instructors, collaborate with peers, access VIP experiences, showcase their work, meet mentors, and shadow organizations aligned with their interests. They also contribute to long-term planning for MODA, and receive recognition and letters of recommendation. Learn more about our residency here
