Additional services for Starbright children:

                                                        Gardening

Children will learn an important message from gardening both in the organic garden and our flower pots.  When you love something and you nurture it, you can see that it can grow to be strong and healthy.  Starbright strives to help children learn how to provide care so this will carry with then throughout life.

                                                        Equine Therapy

• Starbright partners with “Wings of Life” to provide equine therapy to children who have suffered trauma.  Child victims can benefit from equine therapy by spending time with horses as extremely therapeutic.   It is a time to learn trust and how to nurture.  It is a time where children can learn love, bonding and successes and how to move past fears.

 Life Skill Classes

Starbright offers life skill classes for children and teens.  These skills help children to become independent  and learn the necessary skills to take care of themselves when they age out of the system and are one day on their own.  Classes include cooking, applying for college, grooming, budgeting, social skills, job hunting, problems solving and more. These classes help to promote their strength of independence in life.

                                                         Extra Programs

Starbright children have the opportunity to express themselves through art, dance, drama, music, sports and puppet theatre.  Starbright provides swimming lessons to keep our children safe around water. Starbright encourages individual talents and interest of children that are placed in our path in the community.  Starbright believes each child should be able to let their unique light shine brightly.

                                                        Outreach

Starbright partners with many local community agencies to make sure our Valley children in need are surrounded with community support.   Starbright has furnished houses with beds, kitchen items, furnitures, clothing and other items.  Starbright serves children in crisis need not only at holiday time, but throughout the year.  All of us can be a beacon of light to God’s children by treating them with love and respect.
