Our Partner

The Star House

The Star House is a drop-in day center for homeless youth ages 14–24 in Columbus, Ohio. It provides a safe, welcoming space where young people can access meals, hygiene resources, case management, and community.

Wild Tiger Tees runs its work program from inside the Star House, giving youth the opportunity to earn income and develop real-world skills through screen printing. Every participant learns both the craft of printing and the professional habits that open doors.

The Star House is more than a shelter — it's a community. We are proud to call it our home base and to support the incredible work happening there every day.

New Directions

In 2023, we made the difficult decision to pause our t-shirt printing program as we took stock, regrouped, and explored what the next chapter of Wild Tiger Tees could look like.

We are still actively printing custom mugs — including a partnership with Stauf's Coffee — and we're excited about what's ahead.

We're exploring new social enterprise models through our Sustainable Innovation Lab, a new initiative focused on building sustainable, community-driven programming.

We believe in the mission as much as ever. Watch this space.

Every purchase makes an impact

100% of our work happens at the Star House. Custom orders are what keep the program running.
