ABOUT FIRST STAR is changing the educational outcomes for foster youth across the nation. Our First Star Academies, are inspiring, challenging and equipping foster youth in grades 8 through 12 for success in college and beyond. With the enthusiastic support of local public-private partnerships, including child welfare agencies and public schools, we have launched seven Academies in five years: UCLA, University of Rhode Island, UConn, Loyola University Chicago, George Washington, Rowan and Central Florida. By year's end we plan to add academies at Cal State Fullerton, Rutgers and CUNY Staten Island. Our Academy class of 2015 had 100% high school graduation, and 90% of these kids went on to two or four year colleges. Together we can change lives!
