It is a group mentoring program that brings the teens together with Dartmouth College students with chronic health concerns for regular meetings and activities. The STAR mission promotes healthy psychological and social development for teen participants through mentoring, education, and peer and family support. Teens in the program must be in grades 8 through 12 and have non-intellectual conditions.
