Our kids graduate from high school, often going to college and starting meaningful careers! Two of our graduates, sisters, are currently in nursing school 😃. #youthprogram

Starfish provides homework help after school to youth in the East Rogers Park neighborhood. Students are tutored by staff and volunteers in their problem areas and soar to academic achievement.

Thanks to our donors, Starfish is able to bring amazing life experiences outside of the neighborhood to our kids.

@StarfishChicago In everything, point to Jesus 🙌

[Starfish Learning @StarfishChicago]

More important that tutoring, healthy snacks, or field trips, Starfish teaches inner city youth about Jesus.

Did you know that Starfish has been in the East Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago since 1997 giving youth a safe place to go after school? Look at those big o'l computers 🤣

Education, especially when it’s a struggle for the student is all about the human connection. Encouragement, support, patience, care, and praise.

When your career is over, you will not remember the lessons, the curriculum maps, or the test scores… you will remember the kids and the colleagues. It’s the people that matter.

This is my inspiration for the month. Just going to keep repeating this. 💪🏼

First week of online wasn’t the best but wasn’t the worst. Overcoming challenges as they come.

A beautiful soul gone too soon. Rest up Pedro. No one is protected from senseless gun violence and police brutality.

Students never grow out of the program they grow into our family.
