The Shining Stars

The Shining Stars Gala is more than just a fundraising event—it is a celebration of hope, opportunity, and the incredible potential of the students we serve every day. This special evening is completely designed and led by GCTE students who are working hard to build brighter futures for themselves, their families, and our community. This year, we are raising funds toward one transformational goal: Purchasing a Permanent Home for GCTE Center, Inc. As our programs continue to grow, so does the need for a dedicated facility where students can learn, develop workforce skills, complete educational goals, launch businesses, and connect with life-changing mentors. By attending or sponsoring this event, you are investing in a lasting legacy that empowers future generations through education, workforce readiness, leadership development, and economic opportunity.
