When thousands of starlings come together, flying in swooping, intricately coordinated patterns, a mesmerizing murmuration results. This intricate movement happens when an individual starling communicates with its seven closest neighbors. We hope you will help us grow this movement by supporting the empowerment of these emerging women leaders, and, therefore, our collective future.

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.
