MISSION
The mission of Starlings Volleyball Clubs USA San
Mateo Chapter is to help prevent childhood obesity
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.
