Primary exempt purpose
Brights stars purpose is to provide comprehensive, year-round out-of-school time programs that address the educational needs of children in underserved commuinites. Our priority is to suport the schools we serve by augmenting learning so that every child attending Bright Stars will perform at or above grade level in reading and mathematics. This priority supports the need to close the achievement gap that exist in many of the schools we serve in our program. We achieve this priority via three modules in both our after school and summer camp programs.
