Our impact.

Each year, the All Stars Project involves more than 20,000 young people in development activities that give them the opportunity to perform and to grow.

We have transformed from a grassroots, all volunteer-run effort into a national model for engaging poverty through Afterschool Development and community organizing.  ASP is headquartered in New York City on West 42nd Street in a 31,000-square-foot performing arts and development complex and in 2013 opened the Scott Flamm Center for Afterschool Development, a 9,000-square-foot performing arts and development center in Newark, NJ.  With two centers and operations in six cities across the country, we bring inner-city youth together with business and cultural leaders, academics, police officers and other caring adults to create new kinds of relationships and environments where everyone grows.
