The Jonas Project is a perfect idea in a world that has finally taken notice of the people that have put their lives on the line for our Freedom. For The Jonas Project offering help to them get their own businesses started...to go the extra mile to help our Service People to get a hand-up into the business world is something that is simply a great thing to do. It is an honor for me to help The Jonas Project with whoever I can help.

Mission: Project Northstar is a non-profit organization whose fundamental mission is to help children who are homeless or disadvantaged overcome barriers to a quality education. Partnering with parents, educators, donors and diverse volunteers, we provide one-on-one tutoring, mentoring and enriching activities to students in grades 1-12 to help pave the way to success in school and life. We strive to be a beacon, a north star, by which children can find their way to a better, brighter future.
Programs: Currently, Project Northstar operates five tutoring sessions per week serving nearly 200 students. During tutoring sessions, trained volunteers focus on teaching or reinforcing important basic skills in the areas of reading, writing, and math literacy. To ensure that the tutoring sessions build on what students are being provided in school, Northstar staff establish and maintain an on-going dialogue with the parents/guardians and teachers around the specific needs of the student. Our tutors also serve as mentors, providing structured and organized weekend actvities for their students.
