INSPIRE's Info Session (2026-2027 School Year)
Future events will be posted here.
In June 2026, we celebrated the incredible growth, dedication, and achievements of our scholars at our first-ever Starbound Scholars Celebration. This event marked the close of our first full year of programming — honoring every student who showed up, leaned in, and invested in their own future.
Join us for an upcoming info session where we'll share more about our program, what students can expect, and how families, mentors, and volunteers can get involved.

Whether you're a prospective scholar exploring the program or someone looking to give back as a mentor, this session is your chance to learn more, ask questions, and see how you can be part of what we're building.
