Fist And Star Generation

Fist And Star Generation empowers youth through creative expression and community engagement, fostering resilience and leadership skills to inspire positive change in their lives and communities.

FIST and STAR Generation (Formerly Incarcerated Striving and Thriving and the Strive, Thrive, and Rise Generation) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Santa Barbara County, California, founded by people who have lived the experience firsthand.We exist to serve formerly incarcerated and gang-impacted individuals who are ready to write a new chapter. Through our Strive House, a six-bed transitional reentry housing program in Santa Maria, we provide a stable, supportive home rooted in a housing-first model with wraparound services including life skills, financial literacy, employment readiness, mentorship, and personal development.We also working on bringing our work directly into the community through two original curricula &mdash; The Grind, a twelve-session reflection program for gang-impacted youth, and The Strive Workbook, a reentry life skills curriculum for adults. Both were built from lived experience, for people who know what it means to come from the struggle and choose something different.Our mission is simple. We meet people where they are, walk alongside them as they grow, and help them discover that their past does not define their future.&quot;Incarceration Should Not Be an Inspiration&quot; &mdash; FIST and STAR Generation
