The path to success is something that is grown, nurtured, and groomed within a young person’s family. Those that are fortunate enough to grow in an environment that promotes education and opportunity are generally the most successful, but what if being raised outside of such environment doesn’t have to be the be-all and end-all for someone’s life? What if those among us who aren’t born this fortunate were afforded this same opportunity of success? We believe that this is possible through the recreation of this environment and its introduction at any stage of life. This is the reason for the creation of Project Astra’ after the famous Ancient Roman saying, Per aspera ad astra “through adversity to the stars.”

SUCCESS ASSESSMENT

To truly understand the value of any effort, it needs to be measured. An overarching vision for Project Astra that spans all three pillars is measuring the economic impact of these initiatives. Since Project Astra is a program that looks beyond just the short term and focuses more on continued economic success, measures need to be set in place to gauge all economic output from the number of jobs created to the number of new businesses that open in these communities.
