STAR House Foundation is enriching our community by promoting academic success and empowering lifelong achievement in at-risk children. For the past 16 years, STAR House has remained true to the same ideal: mold children into thoughtful leaders who reflect upstanding values and they will make their mark on those around them. In 1993, community concerns for the safety of children in a low income apartment complex led a group of volunteers to create an after school educational and enrichment program. From that small, one unit apartment “center” serving 15-20 children, has grown a model for after school education and care for at-risk students. STAR House now operates in 3 schools in Roswell, Georgia and serves 180 students in elementary, middle and high school. STAR House provides homework help, tutoring, mentoring and school supplies in a safe and caring atmosphere. For more information visit http://www.starhousefoundation.org.
