About All Stars Project
The All Stars Project (ASP) is a growing national nonprofit organization
whose mission is to transform the lives of youth from poor and
underserved communities using the developmental power of performance, in
partnership with caring adults, giving everyone the opportunity to grow.
While the ASPs afterschool programs include hip-hop talent shows,
training in theatre and the arts, and programs where we partner with the
business community to help young people create a professional
performance, we are doing so much more we are building community and
imagining possibility. Founded in 1981, the ASP currently operates in
five locations across the United States (New York, New Jersey, San
Francisco Bay Area, Chicago and Dallas). The ASP is primarily privately
funded, with two-thirds of our support coming from individuals.
