Company Description

STARS is a Nashville-based nonprofit dedicated to helping young people pursue their unlimited potential by providing hope, health, and connection through school- and community-based services across Middle Tennessee. Founded in 1984, the organization supports more than 100,000 children and youth each year with a continuum of prevention, intervention, treatment, and training programs designed to address trauma, violence, PTSD, substance use, depression, grief and loss, bullying, and related behavioral health needs. Its services are CARF-accredited, underscoring a commitment to quality and outcomes in mental and behavioral health care. While over 87% of its work is delivered in schools, STARS also partners across the juvenile justice system, other nonprofits, businesses, and funders to strengthen communities and expand equitable access to care. School-based specialists, counselors, and clinicians provide evidence-based prevention education, crisis response, and care coordination; its YODA (Youth Overcoming Drug Abuse) division delivers intensive outpatient treatment and recovery support tailored for adolescents and young adults. STARS complements direct services with training and professional development that equips educators, parents, and community organizations with practical skills to foster positive school culture, elevate youth voice, and promote compassion and resilience. Anchored by long-standing public and private partnerships, including support from the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, the Tennessee Department of Education, and the Tennessee Commission on Children and Youth, STARS emphasizes collaboration, data-informed practice, and measurable impact. The organization operates with an unwavering commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, maintains an equal opportunity workplace, and has been recognized as a top workplace, reflecting a culture that values relationships and the dignity and contributions of every person. Through its Youth Opportunity Center and a network of program sites, STARS meets students where they are, delivering timely, trauma-informed support that helps them stay engaged in school, build coping skills, and thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
