About the S.T.A.R.S. Program
S.T.A.R.S. Program (Students Together Achieving Remarkable Success)
MISSION
The S.T.A.R.S. (Students Together Achieving Remarkable Success) program offers Latino/a/x youth in grades 7th-12th grade the opportunity to explore their long-term career goals through one-on-one academic assistance and exposure to diverse post-secondary educational paths, trades, and careers.
VISION
S.T.A.R.S. seeks to create a middle school to college pipeline for underserved and underrepresented Latino/a/x youth through continuous collaboration with their families, school districts, local universities, community organizations, churches, and Marywood University's diverse offices. The goal is to provide a safe haven to facilitate information, resources, skills, awareness, and empowerment to the youth and their families on how to prepare and succeed on reaching their long-term academic/career goals. By becoming a part of the S.T.A.R.S. program, the youth and their families will engage in community and group-based, culturally attuned mentoring activities and experiences that will build individual relationships and a sense of belonging among the Latino/a/x community.
