Overview.
The All Stars Project of Chicago (ASP of Chicago) works in Windy City neighborhoods on the South and West sides that have been hardest hit by poverty and violence. Since our launch in 2007, ASP has touched the lives of over 40,000 young people through the All Stars Talent Show Network, the Leslie J. Raffel Development School for Youth and other development programs and initiatives.
Thanks to the growth of our programs, broad support for our development through performance approach and the generosity of hundreds of philanthropic partners, ASP of Chicago completed an $11 million campaign to establish the Hub for Afterschool Development in the historic Printer’s Row neighborhood in downtown Chicago. Together with our programs, the Hub gives youth from poor and underserved communities the opportunity to connect with the civic, cultural and professional life of the city. Our impact and influence are further strengthened by partnerships and collaborations with hundreds of front-line practitioners and organizations that are part of our growing Afterschool Development Working Groups.
