Physical activities and sports
The summer program encourages youth to stay active during the summer by providing a space to engage in physical activities and sports and by taking them to local parks in Lowell to have fun outside.
Arts and crafts
Youth will learn how to express themselves through various artistic mediums, such as drawing, painting, building crafts, and writing. Participating in artistic activities will also teach them new ways to view and connect to the world around them.
Field trips
Rising Stars students have the opportunity to visit various educational and fun places in the Lowell area and Eastern Massachusetts that allow them to have new and exciting experiences.
Workshops with guest speakers
The Rising Stars Summer Program invites many different guest speakers to talk to our youth about various topics such as public health, career building, and leadership skills. Our workshops also provide youth with an opportunity to learn about important organizations in the community.
