Mission: The Superstar Foundation was founded in 2007 with a two-fold mission:To identify and reward individuals who use data to improve outcomes for underserved individuals, families and communities; andTo promote and advance transformative relationships as the driving force to outcome achievement in the social services sector. As health, education and social services continue to progress towards better measurement of outcomes, the Superstar Foundation believes that transformative relationships and a commitment to data-based decision making at the level of engagement is the key to all long-term, sustainable improvement in the lives of those we serve.
