Program areas at First Star
Foster youth academies: First Star partners with universities throughout the country to make a long-term investment in foster youth and change the course of their lives, from abuse and neglect to academic achievement and self-sufficiency. Each foster youth academy is a four-year program for high school foster youth that shows them they belong on a college campus, and helps them get there. Youth live on an elite college campus each summer throughout high school, and return 1-2 days each month during the school year. The university becomes a second home that inspires and enables them. Each academy keeps youth on track for academic success, equips them with life skills needed for adulthood, trains them to advocate for themselves and others, and ensures that all youth exit foster care with lifelong adult supporters.
