What We Do

The Starfish Foundation exists to provide hardworking young women with the resources necessary to succeed.

For reasons beyond their control, many young women of color from low-income families are less likely than their middle-class counterparts to attend and finish college. This makes it tough for them to get well-paying jobs, maintain healthy lifestyles and enjoy full societal and civic participation. What many of these young women do have, however, is intellect, resilience and spark.

We’re here to get these young women out of the shadows and onto the road toward their dreams.
