Rising
Stars™ is designed to help today’s youth develop their personal
leadership skills and begin to set goals and directions for
their lives. With a recent
Alliance for Excellent Education report indicating a
graduation rate in Texas as low as 65%, we need to
act now to secure our future, rather than waiting for the
government to "fix the program". Rising Stars™ helps young people turn potential into
performance by developing their most valuable asset - - -
themselves! Today, more than ever, we need to be aware of the
benefit of investing in the development of our youth. Leadership
is essential in enabling youth to develop character, confidence,
and values that promote the understanding of a healthy behavior.
Rising Stars™ is a process that helps youth develop their
ability to make positive life choices based upon sound values
and a vision of a successful future. It helps students improve
their GPA’s, increase attendance rates, seek out diverse
options, develop decision making skills, develop positive
attitudes & self-confidence, and greatly reduce risk behaviors.
Rising Stars™ is an innovative and unique program focused on promoting personal leadership, healthy
behaviors,
and the skills employers identify as essential:

While schools traditionally teach the 3R’s, we focus on the 4th R- Reality. Our results are practical and measurable. We work with youth in Grades 8-12 on an individual, (in-person or via telephone), or group setting. Each participant is provided a workbook, audio CD’s, as well as many tools including a dream inventory and self-evaluations that address different aspects of their life; and just one of the deliverables is a life action plan based upon his/her short and long term life goals!
The Rising Stars program has a proven track record, with pilot programs reporting:
-
40% GRADE POINT INCREASE!
-
56% REDUCTION IN SCHOOL DISCIPLINARY/TRUANCY INCIDENTS!
-
70% INCREASE IN COLLEGE ATTENDANCE!
