Summer Stars
Today I want to shine a light on Summer Stars—a truly transformative experience for young people. Summer Stars creates brave, creative spaces where youth are invited to tell the truth, explore identity, build confidence, and use art as a pathway for healing, expression, and leadership.
What makes this spotlight especially close to my heart is that my sister, Lisa Pimentel, has worked with Summer Stars for the past several years. I’ve witnessed, again and again, how intentional mentorship, artistry, and care can change trajectories—how being seen and supported in your voice can ripple far beyond a single program or summer.
This is the kind of work we love to uplift here in Rooted: youth-centered, arts-forward, grounded in relationship and care, deeply aligned with healing, justice, and possibility
If you’re looking for inspiration, hope, or models of what’s possible when we invest in young people and their creativity, Summer Stars is doing it beautifully.
💛 Please share the programs, projects or people that inspire you!!
