President and Founder
Foster Abern
My name is Foster, I'm from Vernon Hills Illinois and I founded Project Constellation in my sophomore year of high school. I speak English, French, Spanish, and I am actively learning Arabic. Project Constellation is not a non-profit that works towards addressing a single problem but a community that works together to fix any problem. No matter how big, when the people of the world, especially, the next generation, unite, any problem can be solved. It was for that reason, that I founded this community.

Executive Director
Daniel Shapiro
Hi! I’m Danny Shapiro, from the San Francisco Bay Area in California. I’m fluent in English and can carry a conversation in Spanish. I joined Project Constellation because I’m curious about how people communicate across cultures and how that can help us communicate within our own communities as well. I’m always interested in learning new things and also hope to improve my Spanish skills.

Shona Forrest
My name is Shona, I am from Switzerland, Ireland, and France. I can speak French, English, and German. I work with Project Constellation because I see infinite value in global collaboration. I believe that we must communicate beyond our country's borders because our world is immense, and it would be a waste to limit ourselves to what we have experienced growing up. Each person on this planet has stories to share, knowledge to transmit, I choose to work with Project Constellation to break the cultural boundaries that restrain us from benefiting from human interaction.
