STAR'S PROGRAMS

Our Training Programs Work.

STAR of Coastal Georgia offers a variety of programs designed to fit into different adults' needs and timeframes.  Our training ranges from multiple-week, comprehensive instruction to 2-hour workshops.  Although each course's main focus varies, students also learn important aspects throughout the class, such as goal setting, problem solving, conflict resolution, and education achievement.  In addition to our regularly scheduled workshops and courses, we offer additional instruction on special topics of interest.

For a current schedule of our programs, please scroll to the calendar at the bottom of this page, or click here.
