What We Do
We are about one thing: a leadership and character-building process
More than ever the world needs young people’s leadership to solve its greatest challenges.
STAAR supports the journey of a young person to become a leader and helps them multiply that leadership in their communities and around the world.
Every year we train, mentor, nurture and connect thousands of young people to lead change.
Some are social entrepreneurs, setting up businesses to provide for their families and create jobs, others are youth advocates, campaigning on issues like gender equality, climate justice, HIV and many others.
No matter the issue, young leaders are working to achieve the same goal: improve their lives and the lives of people in their communities.
Our vision and mission.
Spiritually and emotionally healthy youth and adults weaving diversity into unified hope to create a more peaceful world
