Where will they be in 10 years?
They are called "at risk" for a reason. Over the next decade, they will be tempted to quit school, take drugs or join a street gang.
Many like them will do all three.
Your neighbors at STAR House are determined to keep them IN school, OUT of gangs, and OFF the streets.

Our Story
Throughout Fulton County, many at-risk children arrive home after school, to an empty apartment where there is no adult supervision, no one to help with school work, and worse, an open door for bad choices that will impact their families, their lives, and the community. This is where STAR house plays a big role in these children's lives.
In 1993 a group of community leaders in North Fulton saw the need and began volunteering as mentors and tutors for a handful of students. In 15 years of growth, the program has remained committed to one ideal: Mold children into thoughtful leaders who reflect upstanding values and they will make their mark on those around them.
In the past 4 years, STAR House has DOUBLED the number of students served. We partner with three local Fulton County elementary and middle schools to provide an individualized program of academic tutoring and mentoring in order to insure success for these at-risk children.
With our success has come new opportunities to improve our business model, and we are proud to report that in those same 4 years we have reduced our expenses by more than 15%. But the need in our area is not going away, and we are committed to expanding our program to help more children who live in our community.
