We must empower our young people to reach their fullest potential, so that they are prepared when the “baton” is passed to them. Our goal is not to ‘fix’ youth, but to develop them. The Crispus Attucks Rising S.T.A.R.S. (Striving To Achieve Remarkable Success) Program provides many different after-school and summer educational, recreational, and social responsibility programs for youth 5 to 18 years old. Weekly Life Skills classes are mandatory and provide gender and age appropriate skills to help the youth avoid risky behaviors All youth must also volunteer a minimum of 25 hours per year of community service to participate.
