Our kids graduate from high school, often going to college and starting meaningful careers! Two of our graduates, sisters are currently in nursing school 😃.
Education is key to a bright future. Kids in poorer neighborhoods are missing out on resources that could help them excel. Starfish provides supplementary education to make sure they do well academically.
Thanks to our donors, Starfish is able to bring amazing life experiences outside of their neighborhood to our kids. Check out some of the exciting outings we’ve hosted throughout the years!
Starfish provides homework help after school to youth in the East Rogers Park neighborhood. Students are tutored by staff and volunteers in their problem areas and soar to academic achievement.
Help us make a difference in the lives of at-risk inner city youth. Donate today!
