The STAR Foundation has made a significant difference…

...in our community by preparing unemployed people to be great employees. They provide a hand up – not a hand out.

The STAR Foundation is a tremendous organization…

...that teaches individuals how to succeed in the workplace and prosper. I especially love the attention they give their students around budgeting and money management to ensure that the wages they make will be managed well. Their students learn the computer, customer service and problem resolutions skills that are so critical to being successful. The STAR Foundation’s impact is truly valuable to the economic growth of our community.

As a supporter of STAR for many years…

...I have enjoyed seeing your graduates succeed in their careers. Your program is one of the best investments I have ever made in a nonprofit because the computer skills, job skills, and life skills you teach touch lives, create bright futures and build a stronger workforce for Coastal Georgia.

STAR Foundation – good folks, doing important work, making the world better!
