The Silver Stars started as a small group, formed in Jackson Mississippi in 2012, deriving from a long time dream that the Director, Erica Tillman had to create confidence, self-esteem and encouragement to young girls that may have otherwise been lacking these traits. The Silver Star’s mission and purpose is to create in these girls the courage to capture their dreams and to make their dreams a reality, to create a confidence in them that would encourage them to reach for the stars and catch them, and last but not least, to be all that God intends them to be. The Silver Stars is a non-profit organization that strives on the betterment of the young girls of today’s society. The visions of the Silver Stars is to create in these girls the traits that young ladies should possess to make them productive, respected, confident young ladies of today. To make all of these things possible, and just as an organization has a mission statement and a vision statement, so shall all organizations have a Biblical statement and verse to aide in the success of it all. For the Silver Star’s, this Biblical verse is Matthew 6:33, which reads, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you”. This verse seems to fit this organization like no other because of the rewards that it brings throughout the lives of these young ladies. The Silver Stars stands for and promotes long lasting confidence and self-esteem that will follow these young ladies throughout their lives, and to give them the ability and encouragement to share these traits with whomever they shall encounter.
