Thank you! Plus, Metallica and #GivingEveryTuesday 🌟
First Star was featured on CBS Nightly News on December 8th!
Take a look to see inside our programs and witness the impact of your generosity.
Our former scholar turned UCLA peer mentor Issa, led this project with CBS. He interned with the company while at Chapman University. The piece showcased a unique element of First Star: the relationships formed among our scholars and staff AND between current and former youth in care through our youth coaches.
