2012 ANNUAL REPORT

STARR COMMONWEALTH

VISION, MISSION AND CORE VALUES

In 1913, the Creed of Starr Commonwealth was created. Today, we continue to take to heart what Floyd Starr so compassionately penned that day as his core belief and the foundation of our organization, "there is no such thing as a bad boy."*

VISION: Actively engage with communities worldwide to develop the greatness in every child.

This core belief is represented in our mission, vision and core values. The values we seek to nurture and live by are honesty, compassion, respect, responsibility and fairness.

MISSION: Create positive environments where children flourish.

It is these core values that guide us and allow us to continue to build upon Starr's strength-based treatment philosophy and provide hope for today's children and families. *Starr Commonwealth changed the statement to read, “There is no such thing as a bad child” to reflect the care of girls as well as boys.

James has plans – having learned to manage his Asperger’s he knows what he can achieve. His love for music led him to participate in Starr’s popular All-Starr Choir. Next, he began singing in the choir of a local church.

It was there he began thinking about a career in youth ministry.

“I realized that people of faith had always been there for me and I saw that I could be there for others.”

One of the hallmarks of Starr’s treatment philosophy is the importance of making spiritual connections.

Letter from the President and Executive Team As Starr approaches its 100th year of helping children and families flourish, there is more temptation than ever to look back at what our organization has achieved, including the thousands of lives touched, even transformed, by our work and the vision of our inspirational founder, Floyd Starr.

However, while we will certainly celebrate our proud history, our minds are fixed firmly on the future and ensuring the next 100 years are even brighter for Starr and for children and families around the world.

Martin L. Mitchell, Ed.D. President Chief Executive Officer

We know that Starr’s next century will be very different from its first. The societal needs for human services are as great as ever, but the ways in which they are met must change. Clients want services to be flexible and delivered in their community, their home or online.

Publicly funded infrastructure is being reformed in the areas of juvenile justice, child welfare, education and health. More than ever there is a convergence between the private, public and nonprofit sectors when it comes to tackling social problems and improving lives. With these changes, we are presented with challenges but also great opportunities.

Already, Starr is responding to these emerging needs and has built innovative models so our strength-based approaches can benefit children and families across the U.S. and in many countries around the world. The Starr Global Learning Network, in particular, with its unique blend of trauma-informed care, resilience in youth and racial healing, is supporting the development of thousands of professionals each year and continues to expand its sphere of influence.

In a world where, too often, vulnerable children are stigmatized and dismissed as a problem, Starr is increasingly applying its rich knowledge and its fundamental belief that there is no such thing as a bad child to prevent the development of behavioral and emotional issues in young people. The Starr Detroit Academy is a shining example of this, with more than 500 children benefiting from an education that is wrapped in Starr’s unique approach to child welfare and development. Starr continues to expand its work in the areas of prevention and education.

It is remarkable that, from a ramshackle barn purchased by Floyd Starr in 1913, our organization has grown to the extent that it reached over 1.5 million people globally in FY 2011-2012. This exceeded our goal of reaching 1.3 million people, and we are very proud of this achievement.

Wm. Chuck Jackson, MA Executive Vice President Chief Clinical Officer

Christopher L. Smith, BBA., CPA Executive Vice President Chief Financial Officer

Elizabeth A. Carey, MSW Executive Vice President Chief Strategy Officer

Starr is making great progress in strengthening its position as a global knowledge leader and an industry leader in the design and delivery of transformational programs for children and families, and we know that none of this would be possible without the generous support or our donors, partners, colleagues and friends. Thank you to everyone who contributed to Starr’s significant impact in 2012.

Gary Q. Tester, MRC Executive Vice President Chief Development Officer

Starr Detroit Academy It is an unfortunate reality that Detroit is home to some of the lowest performing schools in the United States.

According to the Detroit Public Schools, its graduation rate was approximately 62 percent in 2011. Although it has risen slightly in recent years, it is still well below the national average of 72 percent and the Michigan average of 79 percent.

One of the beliefs at Starr is that every child should have access to a quality education.

To make that goal a reality, Starr embarked on a new endeavor near the east side of Detroit in 2012.

Starr Detroit Academy, an open-admissions charter school located in Harper Woods, opened in September 2012 with over 500 children enrolled, offering educational services to k-5 students.

After a highly selective process, Starr received authorization in September 2011 for charter school operation from Central Michigan University. The academy’s daily operations are overseen by a management company, Starr Educational Services.

Starr Detroit Academy is made possible, in part, by the legacy of Children’s Home of Detroit, which ended its services in 2008. Starr Commonwealth, as successor to the property owned by the 172-year-old organization, pledged to reinvest CHD resources into services for youth in the metropolitan area by establishing a committee called Vision Detroit.

Larry Givens, Chair of the Vision Detroit Committee and a member of the Starr board of trustees, is dedicated to creating a culture of success, thus changing the perception of schools in Detroit.

“Detroit is an area with many underserved and at-risk youth,” Givens said. “By making college and academic achievement a priority for children and families early on, the likelihood of our youth succeeding throughout their lives is exponentially greater.”

The mission of Starr Detroit Academy is to prepare students for academic mastery, college, work and life. To achieve this task, children will develop a strong character, self-confidence and a deep awareness of their strengths, interests and abilities. Building a strong foundation in the core subjects through a college preparatory curriculum will also provide students with the skills needed to flourish in high school and beyond.

Using the strength-based model of positive youth development pioneered by Starr, the academy provides individualized instruction aimed at meeting students at their achievement level. This program, Response to

4

Intervention, offers teacher-led, small-group interventions that keep students engaged and on track with the idea of meeting grade level standards and closing the achievement gap.

“These kids need as much time at school as possible,” said Jim Hall, President of the Starr Detroit Academy School Board. “Using strengthbased practices as well as other tools, we are positioned to offer our students access to firstclass academic and extracurricular programs.”

Starr Detroit Academy in Harper Woods opened in September 2012

But high-level student achievement is impossible without a devoted staff. Starr Detroit Academy features frequent professional development opportunities, which allows team members to be informed on best practices and leading-edge curriculum standards, keeping Starr Detroit Academy ahead of the curve.

Some additional features of the academy are an extended school day, top-notch athletic facilities, an art and music program, an unyielding focus on partnering with parents to ensure their child’s success, and many more aspects intended to help the children of Detroit reach their full potential.

“For Starr Detroit Academy and our students to flourish, we need everyone involved to have an unwavering commitment to excellence,” said Dr. Jim Pelt, Chair of the Starr Educational Services Board.

“Starr Detroit Academy is just the beginning for these children. Our program can start equipping kids with the skills they will need to succeed for the rest of their lives.”

Starr Detroit Academy is located at 19360 Harper Ave., in Harper Woods, Michigan. For more information on Starr Detroit Academy, visit www.starracademy.org.

The mission of Starr Detroit Academy is to prepare students for academic mastery, college, work and life.

UNLEASHING THEIR POTENTIAL

When I first arrived here at Montcalm School, I did not want to listen to anyone because I knew that if I did, that things would change – and I wasn’t ready for change. So I chose not to listen and it really didn’t get me anywhere.

I realized it was important to listen and I figured out that it helps a great deal.

It is helping me grow inside and helps me grow with my friends.

- Tyler

UNLEASHING THEIR POTENTIAL

I wanted to write and thank everyone at Montcalm for all you have done for Morgan and our family.

When families are struggling, it is such a relief to find a school like yours that can help.

You really helped us through many important decisions and showed us that waiting for Morgan to go through all the “steps” was the best approach.

We feel so optimistic about her future. We really believe that we have “the daughter we love” back again.

- Sheryl Quigley (Mother)

Camp Ready Readers receives grant from Post Foods, LLC Starr Battle Creek received a $1,500 grant from Post Foods, LLC in Battle Creek, Mich., for its Camp Ready Readers summer program.

“We are thrilled to receive this generous grant from Post Foods,” said Nate Cox, Supervisor of the Suspension Center and Day Treatment programs. “This program does many great things for these students, giving them skills that help them as they continue their academic journey.”

Camp Ready Readers is a free program for K-5 students, offered in three-week sessions over the summer.

Last summer, Starr Battle Creek provided the reading camp to over 85 children. In addition to the educational aspect of the camp, students received free lunches, a free camp T-shirt and participated in outside games and activities.

Starr Global Learning Network From Starr’s rigorous strategic planning process in 2010, came a new vision for the organization. Since then, Starr has been actively engaging with communities worldwide to develop the greatness in every child and the Starr Global Learning Network is leading the way.

Starr has built a broad range of programs aimed at creating positive environments where children flourish. Three of these, Glasswing, The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC) and Reclaiming Youth International (RYI), make up the Starr Global Learning Network. These member programs train professionals in innovative best practices around treating children and families who have experienced trauma, building resiliency in children and adolescents, and delivering racial healing seminars for individuals and organizations.

Formerly the Starr Institute for Training, the Starr Global Learning Network changed its name in 2012 to better align with Starr’s vision to establish a worldwide network of industry experts providing professionals with leading-edge tools and techniques to care for children and families.

Starr has always operated with the unwavering belief in the oneness of humankind. In 1996, that belief took the form of a racial healing initiative, later named Glasswing. This program stresses a series of shifts in perspective, with the aim of enabling participants to self-identify the impact of racism in their lives and what they can do to overcome cultural challenges which are a daily reality in our communities. Many organizations, including Kalamazoo Public Schools, Kellogg and Western Michigan University, have experienced the value and team building power Glasswing can have.

Unfortunately, events like the tragic school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December 2012 illustrate the need for trauma intervention and consultation. TLC responded to this tragedy immediately, offering tips and resources to the families and community of Newtown. As man-made and natural disasters continue to devastate communities around the world, TLC and its trained professionals will be ready to help the victims return to normalcy in the days and weeks following these events. Extreme events like this represent only a small part of TLC’s caseload, as the day-to-day challenges that millions of individuals experience, such as bullying and bereavement, are all too often trauma-inducing and require TLC’s proven approach.

Reclaiming Youth International offers programs for professionals who help youth in conflict over challenges in school, family or with self. RYI uses the Circle of Courage®, a model of positive youth development built around meeting the four basic needs of all children: belonging, mastery, independence and generosity. Through RYI, childcare professionals are equipped with the tools needed to help children feel empowered. These knowledgeand skill-building trainings are offered for teachers, counselors, youth workers, juvenile justice personnel, faith-based providers, alternative schools, residential program staff and more.

The Starr Global Learning Network has already trained professionals in all 50 states and over 60 countries.

Expanding into more communities across the country and around the world will allow Starr to increase its reach, with the objective of positively impacting the lives of children and families everywhere. Glasswing, TLC and Reclaiming Youth International are just three of the programs that will help to achieve this ambitious goal.

Percent of youth who feel that their relationship with their families is improving 80% rated themselves as better off than before they entered Starr’s care.

Average Age (at intake) 13.53 yrs

To calculate Impact we began with the understanding that our scope of influence is larger than actual numbers served or head counts. Currently our Impact figure describes individuals that we likely influence with our philosophy or treatment effects. Through our Impact measure we simply attempt to quantify the individuals that are impacted or influenced by Starr. We have applied some simple logic to arrive at a number for those Impacted or influenced by Starr efforts.

Publication Impact Logic: Individuals who are exposed to our philosophy or techniques are likely to share that information with others. Publication impact is calculated by generating counts from each media distribution and dividing that by the period (monthly). Includes, Circle of Courage Publications, Starr News, Montcalm Messenger, Starr Points.

Electronic Impact Reclaiming Electronic Journal, Reclaiming Electronic Newsletter, Facebook (RYI, COC, Starr, TLC), TLC Blog, TLC Focus E-blasts, Montcalm Website Inquiries Training Impact Logic: Individuals trained will then apply that training to their stakeholder group. Training impact is calculated by generating counts from each training institute then applying some logic to that data, based on the job or professions of those we train.

Direct Service Impact Logic: Families, staff and foster parents are influenced in addition to the youth that are served by our programs. Youth numbers are generated for each program and then multipliers are run against student counts.

Multipliers are based on average family size and the assumed relationships of youth with their family. A conservative count is applied to residential and STL due to anticipated quality of family relationships. Average family size is 2.6 for our programs.

Starr Detroit Academy Logic: We apply the average family size multiplier (2.6) to the staff and students at Starr Detroit Academy.

UNLEASHING THEIR POTENTIAL

I found myself overly concerned with my appearance and popularity. I started to fall into peer pressure to maintain my status and began drinking and smoking. I was used by boyfriends and lied to my parents. I took an overdose and landed in the hospital for three weeks with liver damage. During the time I’ve been with Starr, I realize that this is exactly the change that I needed.

I’m learning to take responsibility for my actions.

TLC receives grant for online military family resource A lack of understanding can often leave military veterans feeling isolated and helpless upon returning home from deployments. Through a $20,000 grant from the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation, Inc., The National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children (TLC), a member of the Starr Global Learning Network, is changing this troubling trend.

The grant is being utilized in the form of a web-based service called, “Trauma Resource Center for Military Families and Professionals.” This resource is a one-stop website for useable, age-specific information. Because many people do not seek help due to the cost, this service is free for families. TLC aims to help families get the necessary guidance regardless of their financial situation.

Typical grief and trauma responses are included, as well as information on how parents can help their children cope with concerns or feelings they may have. This consists of downloadable activities and worksheets to engage children and calm their anxieties. Links to other helpful websites are provided as well.

Many veterans find it difficult to get help from practitioners outside of the military. With the grant from the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation, Inc., TLC is striving to make the psychological and physical drain on military families more manageable.

GRANTS

“Being able to offer our military veterans a free service to help them, as well as their families, deal with the trauma of war is invaluable,” said Caelan Kuban, Director of TLC. “We are so grateful to the American Legion Child Welfare Foundation for helping us make this tool available to our veterans.”

Starr Detroit Academy changing lives on Detroit’s east side Starr Detroit Academy, a K-5 public charter school located in Harper Woods, was awarded a $250,000 grant from the Walton Family Foundation. The grant is part of a foundation initiative, The Public Charter Startup Grant Program.

“The Walton Family Foundation’s generous grant will assist us in creating positive change in Detroit,” said Jeremy Vidito, School Director of Starr Detroit Academy. “As we move forward with this very important work, we are fortunate to have their support. With the foundation’s help, we can change the lives of children and families in Detroit, helping kids attain the ultimate goal of receiving a college degree.”

GRANTS

The foundation’s goal is to invest in programs that allow parents to choose high-performing schools as a way to create competition in public education.

Organizations chosen to receive the grants are primarily serving low-income areas in targeted geographic locations with the ability to significantly raise student achievement. The academy’s mission is to prepare students for academic mastery, college, work and life.

Starr Commonwealth to use grant for guitars as part of Fine Arts program Starr Commonwealth received a generous grant of $3,500 from the Loraine and Melinese Reuter Foundation for its Fine Arts program to purchase guitars.

This award will assist Starr in continuing to provide a top-notch music therapy program, led by a licensed music therapist.

“Some children are more comfortable than others in group meetings or one-on-one counseling,” said Jeff Cornhill, Starr’s licensed music therapist and Director of Fine Arts. “But others respond to different methods of therapy, including the use of music. I feel that Starr provides a great opportunity for all children to grow and gain confidence in themselves, no matter their learning style or what they feel comfortable with.”

Starr’s Fine Arts program includes music therapy, performing opportunities and the All Starr Choir, a group of talented youth singers and musicians, among others.

UNLEASHING THEIR POTENTIAL

GRANTS

Caring for youth with a vast array of emotional, social and academic challenges for 100 years has taught the organization that a diverse group of children respond to different methods of treatment. Music therapy provides an outlet for youth who may not feel comfortable using other treatment approaches.

When I first came to Starr Columbus, I was a young, shy, depressed, soft spoken, keep to myself kind of kid.

I started to look at the Starr staff like they were mother and father figures in my life. They paid the way for me to attend college tours, and they also paid the way for me to take my G.E.D test. My relationship with my father has improved. I’ve learned that there are people out there who do care for others, and that it is never too late to turn your life around.

UNLEASHING THEIR POTENTIAL

I am a senior in high school. Before coming to Starr Commonwealth, I never believed in myself and relied on others for my identity. I had a horrible self-image problem. At one point in my life, I allowed two guys to lead me down a negative road that continued for two years.

I tried to escape all of my hurt, anger, and frustration by turning to alcohol. This escape almost cost me my life.

Since I have been at Starr, I have learned to appreciate myself for who I am and not what other people think.

Starr Commonwealth awarded grant for pool renovation Starr Commonwealth received a $30,000 grant from the Helen L. Kay Charitable Trust to assist with renovations to the pool in the Towsley Center for Recreation on the Albion campus.

The pool, built in 1990, is an integral part of Starr’s Physical Education program. It is used on a daily basis by Starr staff and students. The pool helps to ensure that each youth learns to swim and receives instruction in water safety.

“The pool renovations improve safety for both staff and students,” said Rich Mattea, Supervisor at the Towsley Center. “It’s such an important aspect of our physical education program, and these repairs allow staff and students to enjoy the pool for years to come.”

Physical activity is a critical portion of Starr’s treatment model, as the organization is focused on physical, emotional and psychological wellness.

GRANTS

Repairs included removal of the existing pool deck and drainage, installing a new drainage system, pouring and finishing concrete and installing new ceramic tile.
