Programs
Stars That Shine programs are designed to empower and educate girls in West Virginia and beyond. We believe in the power of education to transform lives and create opportunities for girls of all backgrounds. Through our programs, we aim to provide not only academic support but also mentorship, leadership training, and a supportive community where girls can thrive and reach their full potential. Our STARS have access to a variety of programs and opportunities to help them thrive and shine!
Middle School
Girl Empowerment
Our Girl Empowerment initiatives span from engaging workshops to large conferences, all designed to boost self-esteem, enhance academic performance, and strengthen peer and family relationships.
Our Middle School Empowerment Program is implemented in local schools and supplemented by bi-monthly sessions called SELF Saturdays.

High School
Girl Empowerment
Our high school girl empowerment initiatives center on our Girl Next Door Program—an after-school initiative dedicated to combating bullying, addressing peer pressure, promoting health education, and building self-confidence.
This program empowers young women to thrive both academically and personally, preparing them to become tomorrow's leaders.



Mentorship
STARS are supported by our dedicated team of staff and mentors, who play an active role in each girl's journey, providing guidance, encouragement, and resources to help them succeed.
Enrichment Adventures
Girls enrolled as STARS have full access to all our programs, including Enrichment Adventures—a series of trips and retreats designed to broaden horizons through educational experiences, relaxation, and self-care. These adventures are a vital part of our mission, exposing our girls to new cultural and academic environments.

Summer Camp
Our summer camp provides 25 local girls with a life-changing, scholarship-funded experience.
Campers engage in empowerment workshops, receive academic support, explore career paths through fairs and job shadowing, enjoy exciting summer trips and activities, and end the season with a girls retreat!
