The
STARS Foundation was established in 1995 by Sharon
Kitzhaber, Oregon's Former First Lady. Its objective is to promote
a statewide and sustainable base for the program Students Today Aren't
Ready for Sex and to provide advocacy and resources to the statewide program.
The foundation
has always partnered with local and state agencies to provide STARS training
and technical support to communities and school districts. State legislative
appropriations and a federal abstinence grant have enabled Oregon's Department
of Human Services (DHS) to oversee the STARS program(DHS STARS). The Foundation's
role is to serve as the program's steward and ongoing fund raising organization.
The foundation
focuses on community support, fund raising and public awareness of STARS.
Thanks to corporate, foundation and individual gifts, the Foundation continues
to provide seed money to expand STARS to additional communities and award
grants to established STARS sites.
