About STARability

Who is STARability?

For four decades, STARability Foundation has been shining a light on abilities.

ONE OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA'S LEADING NONPROFITS

Formed by a small community of caring parents, STARability has become one of Southwest Florida’s leading nonprofits. Today, the organization is opening a world of possibilities for hundreds of individuals ages 14 and older by offering a variety of inclusive programs focused on vocational training, continuing education, teamwork, social engagement and community involvement.

Our innovative and creative programs are designed to foster a sense of purpose, cultivate friendships and connections, and instill skill sets that build confidence. Additionally, programs offered on virtual platforms allow STARs to connect with one another and engage in meaningful classes, activities and workshops from anywhere.
