Starfinder Foundation

Starfinder Foundation’s soccer, educational, and personal development programs inspire young people from under-served communities to achieve success both on and off the field. The Collaborative helped Starfinder prioritize repairs and plan a series of improvements to make its Manayunk facility more visible, environmentally sustainable, and comfortable for youth, families, and staff.
