#GivingTuesday is Coming!

"First Star gave me the opportunity to learn how to love life again."
-First Star Alumna

As we come back together for in-person holidays after years of isolation, First Star hopes to highlight the power of community and connectedness in creating change. The First Star program model centers academics as a pathway into achievement, and achievement is impossible without the uplift and support of community.

That is why community, belonging and long-term relationships are central to First Star programs. We hope to be a family our scholars rely on while in the program, and after they graduate.

This holiday season, First Star hopes to raise $25,000 to support our programs and our alumni with critical necessities like food and rent as they transition into adulthood.

Join us on #GivingTuesday on November 29th, or anytime from now through New Years, to help us reach our goal. If you can't donate but want to help, consider hosting a fundraiser on social media! We've created a peer-to-peer fundraising toolkit ([link removed]) you can download.
