About Us

After-School All-Stars grew out of Inner-City Games, an initiative founded in Los Angeles in 1991 to positively influence and inspire at-risk children and youth. In 1992, Arnold Schwarzenegger founded the Inner-City Games Foundation to expand the program nationwide. At that time, San Diego was named as one of the cities that would benefit from having an Inner- City Games program. The name was changed to After-School All-Stars in July 2003.

After-School All-Stars of Greater San Diego is the local licensee of the national After-School All-Stars, whose honorary chairs are California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and Maria Shriver. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the National Spokesperson. The mission of After-School All-Stars is to provide comprehensive out-of-school programs that keep children safe and help them achieve in school and in life.

After-School All-Stars programs provide supportive relationships with adult leaders with sports and recreation, educational programs, technology training, arts and culture, life skills and service learning to engage middle-school kids—a winning combination that increases confidence and encourages success.

After-School All-Stars:

  • Provides out-of-school programs that are fun for kids, keeps them safe and helps them achieve success in school and life.
  • Improves kids’ lives by nurturing their minds, bodies and spirits through programs that incorporate independent learning, academics and enrichment activities.
  • Serves 60,000 youth at 300 school sites in 13 cities across the US.
