SLUH students give immigrants warm welcome to STL community

Originally started at Priory, the St. Louis Teens Aid Refugees Today organization has come to SLUH.

START Inc is a non-profit charity organization founded by two teens at St. Louis Priory School—Adam Saleh and Luke Braby—to assist refugees living in the St. Louis area. The parent organization is Welcome Neighbor STL, which mainly assists refugee families with financial aid, moving in, and other hurdles that come with living in a new country.

While Welcome Neighbor STL mainly focuses on the adult side of immigrant families, START focuses on helping the kids of these families. The SLUH START club, inspired by Priory’s START club, was incepted this past fall.
