GIVING GIRLS A CHANCE TO SOAR!
in vulnerable populations by Addressing its two main causes, poor nutrition and lack of physical activity. The Starlings program helps minority and low-income and minority girls by:
* Developing their athletic skills through participation in a team sport
* Teaching them healthy eating and exercise habits.
* Providing them with a safe haven where caring, involved adults encourage them to stay away from drugs and gangs, do well in school and go on to college.
BENEFITS
Girls who participate in sports are:
* 92% less likely to use drugs
* 80% less likely to have an unwanted pregnancy
* Far more likely to graduate from high school and attend college
* Far less likely to suffer from childhood obesity that can lead to diabetes, hypertension, depression, respiratory ailments and even death

About us...
We are a 12 year old national volleyball club, whose focus is on low-income and minority girls. We have grown from one San Diego team to 40 Starlings chapters nationwide. Our teams are a fun and cooperative way for the 2,500 girls not able to afford elite club volleyball to learn about nutrition, exercise, teamwork, goal setting and hope – all elements they’ll carry with them into successful adult lives.
ITS WORKING
Starlings' high school graduation rates are almost double the national average for minorities. In 2006, 95% of our 200 seniors graduated, with 80% going on to college and 61% of them receiving scholarships. Scholarships were both athletic and academic.
NOT ONLY THAT
Over 50 former Starlings volunteer their time coaching current Starlings. This is especially impressive since all fomer Starlings are under age 30.
OUR DIVERSITY
The majority of the girls (58%) are Hispanic or African American. The others are a combination of American Indian, White, Filipino, Pacific Islander and many, many other ethnic groups. One chapter has 20 different ethnic groups represented.
