The Milagro STARS

The STARS (Standing Together Achieving Recognition and Success) Program is a multi-faceted after school and summer cultural arts program that’s designed to improve the education performance and artistic potential of low income children. STARS participants work daily to refine their academic and artistic skills. With the help of Palm Beach County certified teachers, community partnerships, volunteers and mentors, the students receive instruction in specialized areas of literacy proficiency, science technology and arts tutorials. The program is Monday through Friday from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. during the school year and a full day during the summer.

The Mentoring Program 

A mentoring relationship enhances all aspects of a child’s life and can have a lasting impression on both the Mentor and Mentee. The Mentoring Program at Milagro provides site-based mentoring for individuals and groups enrolled in the STARS Program. The Program connects our youth with positive role models. On site at the Center each week, mentors interact with students during academic enrichment, participate with their art instruction and help with homework and tutoring. The Program fosters nurturing, supportive, intergenerational relationships that are essential in building self esteem in the students. Minimum commitment for mentors is six months, three hours a week.

The Outreach Program

 The Milagro Center believes in giving back to the community. Through our Community Outreach Program, we help other local after school programs by placing artists in their facilities to teach students. All artists placed are recruited and paid for by the Milagro Center. Using the existing infrastructure of the STARS Program, the Center is committed to extending arts education through local community partners to many disadvantaged children in Delray Beach.
