ABOUT RISING STARS :
Our mission is to be a place for intellectually and developmentally disabled adults to belong, and develop the necessary skills to participate at their full potential within the community.
All of our programs are focused on a holistic approach to educating, training, and employing adults with disabilities. Our post-secondary public charter school, Rising Stars Academy, teaches life skills, job skills, and puts our students to work on our campus and at our partner job sites across the city of Detroit and the metro area. Our Home Hub program is a Community Mental Health day program that provides job skill training and job placement. Participants in both programs have the opportunity to train and work in our commercial bakery that provides bread to over 60 restaurants in the city and surrounding areas.
Our newest program, Gather + Grounds, is a coffee shop with a full menu of beverages, sandwiches, and baked goods. All food is made in our bakery and the shop is staffed with our program participants, adding another much needed job training site and work opportunity for our community. In addition, the space aims to be a safe place for adults with disabilities to gather and feel safe, welcomed, and fully integrated and appreciated by the community. We are also running social and emotional wellness programs in the space at night.
