The mission of STAR After-School is to provide creative education through access to the arts and technology for 3rd through 5th graders at Holmes and Garfield elementary schools and 6th through 8th graders at Yasuhara Middle School.

STAR creates a safe, consistent learning space with Lead Teachers and volunteers who cultivate trust, get to know participants’ passions and interests, foster collaborative friendships, set the culture, and provide social-emotional learning tools that strengthen wellbeing beyond the classroom. STAR features professional Teaching Artists, designers, and innovators who guide students through projects that strengthen artistic skills, foster problem-solving, and introduce new mediums for creative expression.
