Together We Can Reach The Stars

Performing Stars transforms the lives of low-income, multicultural kids, families and communities across Marin.

Performing Stars changed my life by giving me confidence, social skills, and the belief that I could achieve whatever I put my mind to. I recently earned my B.A. in Political Science and got my dream job as a Legal Assistant.

With the help of the Phoenix Project of Performing Stars, I was able to get my life, family and career back on track. I got my Driver’s License reinstated, graduated from Fresh Starts Culinary Academy, and found a great job in food service. I couldn’t have done it without them.
