About:
Rising Stars' commitment to our children is life-long and our goals are not restricted to winning a game or a tournament. We promote positive habits and behavior that apply on the court, in school, at home, and on the street. During that time we seek to develop positive values, foster a commitment to community service, and deepen their motivation to learn. We use basketball as a platform to encourage a deeper appreciation of service to others. We guide and track each child in our program from grade 4 throughout high school and work to see every high school senior goes on to college. We then assist every Rising Stars college graduate in finding an internship or job. In addition, we also openly welcome back graduates as Rising Stars volunteers and coaches.
