What makes All-Stars different?

As part of a national organization, All-Stars is focused entirely on after school programming, therefore we can provide greater expertise, higher quality staff and increased resources directly to the program. After-School All-Stars will tailor programming to meet the needs and desires of the school and the students. Additionally, All-Stars has visibility in the community and relationships with a variety of national and local leaders. And through additional grants and donations, All-Stars brings resources that will help provide further opportunities for the youth.

All-Stars’ after school programming is not merely an extension of the school day. It's a place that emphasizes meaningful activity-based learning that reinforces the knowledge and skills needed for in-school success, and prepares them for the 21st Century. Our youth development focus promotes positive relationships among youth and adults, creates engaging environments for youth to learn life skills, and provides opportunities to practice problem solving, project management and team work.

All-Stars Academics

Working closely with the school staff, All-Stars provides programming that aligns with the school day and meets the academic needs of the students. Every school day All-Stars sets aside time for youth to work on their homework and special school projects. Individual and group tutoring is also provided when it is identified as a need of the student. The goal is to help kids to build good study skills that will serve them well in high school and college. All-Stars program leaders oversee the academic component in partnership with teachers and school staff to ensure that educational standards are met.

All-Stars Enrichment

Enrichment activities are designed to engage youth in challenging activities that prepare them for the 21st Century while allowing them to experience creative expression, communication and cooperation. Learning is supported through these projects and activities, while building social and emotional skills.

Service learning opportunities are offered to provide valuable life lessons. As a key component of All-Stars, service learning helps kids build a connection with their community, feel a sense of accomplishment and competence, and gain a new awareness of the world around them.

All-Stars Health & Fitness

All-Stars believes that in order for middle school age youth to remain physically active, they must be offered activities that interest them. That’s why All-Stars provides a wide variety of creative choices for the youth including dance, competitive and non-competitive sports, hiking, and more. Intertwined into each activity is an emphasis on making positive choices, good nutrition, and living a healthy lifestyle.

Activities provided in addition to the comprehensive program include:

All-Stars Entourage

Entourage is a youth leadership and service learning program that allows youth to discover their own talents and gifts while giving back to the community. Facilitated by trained adults, youth experience leadership opportunities, learn decision-making skills, practice personal discipline and peer group interaction, all based in a foundation of service learning. Entourage participants give selflessly back to their community and school through projects that they design and deliver.

All-Stars Sports Clubs

All-Stars’ Sports Clubs on campuses after school promote physical activity and combat childhood obesity. Both competitive and non-competitive sports and fitness are taught based in a foundation of discipline, drills and teamwork. When appropriate, leagues are formed so that youth have the opportunity to play with other schools. All youth are encouraged and given opportunities to participate, regardless of skill level. At All-Stars, everyone is a winner!

All-Stars Futures

Exposing youth to educational and career opportunities, All-Stars Futures provides them information to make educated choices about their futures. In partnership with businesses, trade schools, and universities, All-Stars exposes youth to the variety of career and life choices, providing them with options that give them hope for a successful future.

After-School All-Stars’ mission is to provide comprehensive out-of -school programs that keep children safe and help them achieve in school and life.
