Start Think And Research (STAR) is an initiative to assist teens in setting, attaining higher educational and career goals. Teens are inspired to explore options and reach their highest potential through counseling, training and exposure to the business world in a variety of career environments. STAR reaches out into the Palm Beach County business community utilizing the talents of outstanding men and women employees while recognizing their contribution to their own organization as well. These individuals, who have achieved success in the business world, become role models for students in grades 8 through 12 and inspire youth to higher aspirations. This program runs for eight weeks every summer. Teens work on community service projects. In order to be eligible for the stipend, youth must complete as least 100 hours, obtain a satisfactory job shadowing evaluation and attend the program 90% of time with no referral from school.
