How is Morning Star Rising different from other adolescent after-school programs?
The Morning Star Rising model creates a bridge between middle school and high school by continuing the connection as the girls enter ninth grade. Staff visit the high school campus and members in high school are encouraged to participate in field trips and special workshops on career exploration and college admission. Support and guidance is multi-faceted. The model incorporates affiliation groups, personal mentors, field trips, volunteering, summer internships, and community service projects.
