If you are hoping to continue your education and would like to explore support from St. James Institute, tell us about your goals. You can also contact us on behalf of a young adult. We begin by listening and explaining what may be possible.
St. James accompanies young adults as they prepare for technical or university education and grow through study, work, service, and community. You may be facing financial barriers, limited family support, or uncertainty about your educational direction.
We consider each person’s circumstances, goals, willingness to participate, and the support we can realistically provide. Our first apostolate is in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. Available services and places depend on the local program and its capacity.
Send a brief inquiry about yourself or the young adult you are referring. Tell us your location, educational interests, and the kind of guidance or support you are seeking.
Our team will explain the next steps and learn more about your goals, educational background, support network, and current challenges. We will tell you if further information is needed.
Together, we consider whether St. James can offer useful support. Vocational guidance or academic preparation may be part of identifying a realistic educational path
If we are able to offer support, we will explain its scope, responsibilities, and review arrangements before participation begins. We will revisit the plan as circumstances and needs change.
A few answers to help you begin. We assess each person’s goals and circumstances, willingness to participate and the support we can realistically offer.

Yes. A family member, educator, care home or another trusted person may make an initial inquiry. The young adult’s own involvement, goals and willingness to participate remain essential.
