EO's Starling Project is a Boise-based multicultural women’s mentoring program focused on fostering the advancement of young adult refugee women enrolled in higher education, ages 18-25, to maximize their potential as future leaders.

Through the mentorship of women leaders with intentional, curated programming, Starlings are supported across all domains of self-sufficiency, while opportunities are provided to connect culturally, build social capital, attain hard-skills such as financial literacy, and ensure they have the support they need to attain college degrees.

With each life impacted, whether mentee or mentor, a ripple effect develops – one that will impact generations and institutions beyond our Boise community.

With a focus on nurturing goals, aspirations, and ambitions, the Starling Project creates a space for these emerging future leaders to utilize their strength, grit and distinctive experience for the betterment of themselves, our community, and the world.
