The mission of Starfish Initiative is to inspire, encourage, and prepare motivated high school students from the most vulnerable populations for college, career, and life success through one-on-one mentoring. Starfish Initiative is a post-secondary education-focused mentoring program in Marion County specifically for students who have enrolled in the Indiana 21st Century Scholars program. During the four-year Starfish Experience, Starfish Scholars receive continuous guidance and one-on-one support from individually matched, “college and career coach” Mentors who meet with their Scholar on a bi-monthly basis. Starfish Mentors supported by Starfish Match Specialists help each Scholar to effectively prepare for personal and academic success by promoting their active participation in the three core essentials (3Cs) of the Starfish model: 1) College Readiness and Success; 2) Career Exploration; and 3) Character Development.
