About Us

We are a pioneering Tucson nonprofit dedicated to reducing self-harm, depression, and stress in youth through powerful astronomy, art, and STEM programs and events. We explore the universe to heal those in it, fostering a better future for all

Youth are struggling more now than ever, not wanting to finish high school or go to college. It’s resulting in risky behavior and poverty as young adults.

Reach For The Stars is committed to Alternative Coping Methods:
• STEM Exploration
• Space Exploration
• Youth Education
• Youth volunteer Projects (Food Pantry & Homeless Outreach)
• Strengthening Career Skills

RFTS envisions having a place built for the community where children can come for mental health and well-being. An Observatory Community and Learning Center would be centered around improving their coping mechanisms, creative confidence, altruistic behavior and expand their love for STEM careers. This effort would drastically change the course for the youth in-need in a more efficient and effective manner.
