Exceptional Knowledge and Community Support

As a member of the community, I am incredibly grateful for the impact that Reach for the Stars Nonprofit has awakened within me for truly igniting a spark of curiosity and wonder for the understanding of the cosmos. Led by the inspiring and knowledgeable CEO Carlos Aragon, this organization is a shining example of how passion and dedication can transform a community. Carlos, a true astronomy enthusiast, has a deep-rooted mission to educate young individuals and the broader community about the wonders of the cosmos.

Through various telescope equipment and an array of educational resources. Reach for the Stars promotes knowledge, mental health, and wellness to children, youth, and the community. They understand that exploring the stars is not just about science—it's about expanding minds, fostering curiosity, and bringing a sense of peace and wonder to our lives.

I encourage everyone to get involved with this exceptional nonprofit organization. Whether you're interested in learning more about the universe, supporting educational initiatives, or simply connecting with like-minded individuals, Reach for the Stars is a place where you will feel welcomed and inspired. Carlos and his team are doing incredible work, and I have no doubt that their impact will continue to grow and benefit our community for years to come.

Reach For The Stars is an amazing non-profit organization and has very unique, and much needed, out reach programs. Kira and Carlos have the biggest hearts and give back to the community in absolute stellar ways! From a food pantry, to STEM activities, to AMAZING astronomy programs and so much more! They aim to improve our youth’s mental health in extraordinary ways, which is needed even more so over the past couple of years. Reach For The Stars is their goal literally and metaphorically and these 2 beautiful humans are changing the world one good deed at a time. Their events are so heartwarming and educational as well. Kira and Carlos, you guys are amazing and I hope there is never a moment that goes by where you don’t feel appreciated!

This is a great nonprofit. Reach for Stars Co Founders have the biggests hearts. They both served our country in the military and are now serving the community by making it a better place. They do all they can to help those that are underserved and in need. The current mission and move for the organization is to help the youth with mental health coping skills by stargazing, STEM, volunteering and MindUP. I love helping out when i have open minute. Help and donate to this organization to fulfill the great dream they have.

We have been supporting Reach for the Sky for 3 years now. What they are doing for our community is unrivaled. Their innovative approach towards mental health is only trumped by the kindness of their hearts. Carlos and Kira the founders are both amazing people, they are talented, and both served our country with honor. That makes what they are doing so much more incredible because they are choosing to do it. They are choosing to uplift the people around them and our community when their talents would allow them to do anything they set their mind too. They could both be CEO's of major companies, but they give their time and efforts to us instead for free. If you are not already supporting them, you need to be. -Tyler Gadi

Reach for the Stars is a wonderful non-profit that helps at risk youths, by challenging them to look to the heavens and reach for the stars to find and peace and calmness from this chaotic world that sometimes can overwhelm them! They are also a community partner with Girl Scout Troop 788 and have held Stargazing events with the scouts!

I really really appreciate Carlos with Reach For The Stars Non-profit. I get to check out the beautiful night sky and share what I see. He’s a great buddy, yes, but he offers the same desire to share his knowledge about astronomy with others just as well. What other non profit do y’all know of that offers food and resources to the homeless and people having hard times as well as give the opportunity to reach for the stars with your eyeballs?
To me, “reach for the stars” is a metaphor for not allowing personal limitations keep you from reaching out for the happiness that we deserve as humans whether that’s eating a good meal, having clothes on your back, or being able to stargaze and put your eyes and mind up in the stars.
Let’s not forget Kira. That woman’s a soldier, Figuratively and literally. It takes a good, strong woman to hold everything together like glue, make everything professional, and keep things flowing. The two together are seriously an amazing team. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I may only have a few (like 4) friends but the friends I do have are the best that any one could ever ask for.
