32 years of academic success. School starts soon. HOPE starts with YOU!

The Transformational Work of the STAR House Foundation (North Fulton Business Radio, Episode 883)

In Roswell, Georgia, hundreds of children face steep challenges outside the classroom. Those challenges don’t stop when the school day ends. That’s where the STAR House Foundation comes in.

In this episode of North Fulton Business Radio, host John Ray features our very own- Windy Nicholson, Maureen Curtis, and Alejandra Torchia of STAR House. Thank you John for showcasing our live-changing program- the importance of our program offering academic help, character development, emotional support, healthy snacks, and consistent encouragement from our trusted staff.

Real Impact

I thank STAR House for the tremendous opportunity you have afforded my son. As a single working parent, it was very hard to find after-school care that included homework guidance. As an only child, my son needed a chance to interact with other kids in his age group outside of school time. My son really enjoys the time and teaching that STAR House provides. It is simply God sent.
