Project Northstar is a non-profit organization
whose fundamental mission is to help children who are homeless or disadvantaged overcome barriers to a quality education. Partnering with parents, educators, donors and diverse volunteers, we provide one-on-one tutoring, mentoring and enrichment activities to students in grades 1-12 to help pave the way to success in school and life. We strive to be a beacon – a north star – by which children can find their way to a better, brighter future.

Project Northstar Summer Programming!

The Financial Literacy Program is designed to teach older students the basics of managing their finances. This program will run from July 1st-July 13th at the Josephine Butler Parks Center (2437 15th St. NW).

The Summer Reading Program will help to strengthen the reading skills of students reading at a fifth grade level and below. This program will run from June 1st-July 12th at the Salvation Army (3335 Sherman Ave. NW).
