OUR MISSION

Starfire works to expand the collective imagination for what is positive and possible for people with disabilities to be connected in their communities, everywhere. We meet our mission in two ways:

  • Work closely with people with disabilities and their families as they build social connections based on strengths and joyful action.
  • Share learnings from our collaborations to change mindsets about what is positive and possible for people with disabilities.
