NorthStar Foundation
NorthStar's mission to change the lives of young men through programming that supports, challenges, inspires and instills a life rooted in education, self-discipline and service to the community through our three areas of program focus: Academics, Adventure & Athletics.
We serve boys in grades 3-12 and our activities throughout the summer and during the academic year include STEM & arts programming, rock climbing, robotics, culinary classes, gardening, photography, college visits, basketball, lacrosse, soccer, canoeing, woodworking, cycling and more!
