The Black Star Project has an urgent mission that depends on the generosity of a select group of individuals who are so passionate about educating and empowering students and communities that they make a philanthropic gift to The Black Star Project.
From its beginning, TBSP has worked to improve the lives of people in low-income Black and Latino communities, particularly on the south and west sides of Chicago. Often, these communities are plagued with violence, unemployment, and low-academic achievement. TBSP's work is motivated by its vision that all children, with the support of their families, neighborhoods and communities, will become 21st-century global citizens who are globally competent, globally cooperative and globally compassionate.
