For three decades years, the STARS Center has been a nonprofit pillar of the community, with a history of tangible impact, including spearheading the construction of the Hamilton Beach Playground.

Today, the Center is undergoing a strategic evolution, transforming from a beloved educational facility into a vibrant community and cultural hub—dedicated to providing a space for creativity, learning, and connection for all ages, while preserving and celebrating the unique cultural heritage of Howard Beach and its surrounding neighborhoods!
