The Black Star Project, in partnership with Absolutely Anything Essential, Defender Charities, and State Rep. Kam Buckner, is proud to present the 5th Annual Bronzeville Juneteenth Celebration—a vibrant, family-friendly event honoring Black freedom, culture, and community resilience.

Last Thursday, The Black Star Project partnered with Brookfield Care to host a meaningful and impactful Volunteer Care Package event at our office.

The evening was a true celebration of community spirit, generosity, and teamwork!

Every donation we receive from November 18th through December 3rd (Giving Tuesday) directly supports our wide range of impactful programs, including the Phillip Jackson Freedom School, Kimberly Lightford Saturday University, Young Black Men of Honor, Phillip Jackson Youth Development Program, Ambassadors of Hope, and Building Chicago's Next CEO. These programs provide educational enrichment, mentorship, and leadership development to underserved students in our community. Your contributions enable us to offer these services at no cost, empowering youth with the tools they need to succeed.

This fall, The Black Star Project is excited to offer a lineup of educational and development programs designed to inspire and uplift our youth. We are offering four impactful programs: Kimberly Lightford Saturday University, Phillip Jackson Freedom School, Young Black Men of Honor, and Phillip Jackson Youth Development Program. These programs provide students with essential skills, knowledge, and mentorship for academic and personal growth. The cost is FREE!
