Our Mission Statement
Brightstar Youth Services (BYS) is a 501c3 non-profit organization that provides basic, intermediate and advanced educational support to Middle and High School students who lack the necessary math, reading and language skills for college entry. Using the most advanced educational tools and services we target students from Single Parent Family Homes, High School Drop outs and households with parents that lack the resources or education or ability to support their college bound students.
The aim of BYS is to provide children and students (ages 13 to 21) with quality educational and supplemental life skills services. These services support BYS’s endeavor to prepare our youth for the entire college entry, post-secondary. or secondary experience.

Brightstar Youth Services works to raise awareness of the negative effects of dropping out of school, and to develop effective interventions to prevent students from dropping out so that they have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
BYS includes preliminary student assessments on local standardized high stakes tests; and, on national standardized tests such as the ACT and SAT. This service identifies which children or students are eligible for the program.
We focus on filling any gaps or empty spaces that may have been created in a child’s educational experience.
