Think Globally, Act Locally
Made popular as an environmental slogan in the 70’s, “Think Globally, Act Locally” has particular resonance with our programming here at Starfinder as so many of our young people are first or second generation Americans with origins across the globe. Soccer is the world’s most popular sport and serves as a wonderful entry point for learning about the many connections we share with other cultures and peoples around the world....

It's all about jobs!
The ongoing focus on unemployment and job creation is topic number one in the national political debate. Here at Starfinder we also know first-hand the impact that a paying job has on our Senior Leader participants. For the past two summers, we have created paid internships for over 20 of our most committed participants. Now we are ecstatic to announce a new partnership with The Hill at Whitemarsh.

In the 5th annual C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital (Ann Arbor, Michigan) National Poll on Children’s Health, adults rate drug abuse and childhood obesity as the top health concerns and “big problems” for children.... As an organization committed to supporting the personal growth and development of young people, we are keenly aware of how these health issues have the potential to interrupt and side-track their aspirations. We are working diligently to make sure this doesn’t happen.
