“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.”
What’s On!
From dance parties, BBQs in the park, and family outings to workshops, book talks, and film screenings, our calendar is always full of events.
And YOU are invited!
“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.”
Performing Stars is deeply grateful for the generous support we receive from foundations, corporations, government funders, and individual donors.
