The mission of the Star Center is to help any person with any disability to realize their potential. Our mission has been in spirit since the founding, but was re-worded in October 2013. We have been inclusive from the beginning and were founded to use technology and techniques to transform lives. Our mission is intended to be spoken aloud in the form of “any person – with any disability – to realize their potential!” The STAR Center’s vision is to realize our own potential so that we may best serve others. Our vision is one of constant improvement, always keeping in mind that we exist to help others. We are driven to find ways to better our services, our technology, and our people and expand to where there is a need. Our vision is intended for our leadership and staff, but also holds us to high standards to the public that we serve. Core Values Dignity – The belief that all people are worthy of value and ethical, excellent treatment. Individualized Solutions – The belief that people should be treated as individuals, by name, with what helps them most. Compassion – Offering our services regardless of the ability to pay. Technology – A passion for technology and its ability to improve and change lives. Our motto is Enrichment, Education, and Employment. Enrichment is a quality that unites diverse services such as Home Care and Art Therapy and encompasses all that we do. Education is the belief that children deserve the chance to succeed in academics regardless of their barriers. Employment is about adults sharing their gifts and talents with the community by serving others, rather than being held back by disabilities.
