About Us
Bright Star Club is a Christian non-profit organization dedicated to supporting children and families in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) community of Vancouver. Our mission is to help children grow healthy, active, and wise through sports and academic mentorship, empowering them to become leaders who truly brighten our society.
Because our programs run on a mission-minded basis, we charge families a nominal fee of just $50 for 6 months, which covers uniforms, snacks, academic tutoring, and educational guidance. On Saturday mornings, children participate in a rotating schedule: one hour of indoor soccer in the gymnasium and one hour of academic tutoring in the classroom.
