Stars Foundation provides are holistic mentoring program that supports Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander girls and young women to identify their goals and reach their full potential. Established in 2015, the program is tailored to meet the unique needs of First Nations girls and young women – with the aim of promoting positive education, employment and life outcomes. The Stars model is underpinned by the latest research in education and public health, along with decades of experience working with First Nations students.

The Stars Foundation offers a range of activities including sport and physical exercise, art, music and dance. Community and volunteering activities are also provided to support the girls to build their confidence and give them opportunities for personal growth. The program is based around four key pillars of personal development:
- Healthy Lifestyles
- Wellbeing
- Employment, Education & Training
- Community, Culture & Leadership.
