The Milagro Center is a 501(c)(3) non-profit agency whose mission is to enrich children’s lives through cultural arts, academic support and living values, benefiting both the children served and their families as well as the community. Our vision is to be a center of inspiration that unites our society. The Center was established in 1997 housing art exhibits, outreach programs, and afterschool/summer camp programs for disadvantaged children. Since 2003, the Center has focused on providing superior arts education, academic enrichment, living values education, and mentoring for at-risk children, youth, and families living at or below the federal poverty level in South Florida. On site at the Milagro Center, disadvantaged children and youth experience art and academic enrichment daily in an environment that encourages creativity and learning. The center currently operates four inter-related and socially inclusive programs that have proven successful: S.T.A.R.S.
