Our mission

At Polaris Solutions, our mission is to empower youth development organizations to thrive. By handling the back-end operations—like finance, HR, and marketing—we give camps, schools, and enrichment programs the freedom to focus on what they do best: helping young people grow, learn, and lead.

Why work with us?

We understand the challenges youth-serving organizations face—because we’ve been there, too. Polaris Solutions offers tailored, practical support that saves time and drives measurable results. With us, you’ll have a dedicated partner invested in your mission and your impact.

The beginning of our story

Polaris Solutions was born out of firsthand experience. Andy, our founder and lifelong camp director, has built and led organizations centered around youth development. He knew what it was like to juggle program delivery with payroll, HR, and compliance—and how crucial it is to have trusted support behind the scenes. Polaris was created to fill that gap.
