Overview.
On the ground in Newark since 1999, the All Stars Project of New Jersey (ASP of NJ) is a vibrant epicenter of development and partnership for thousands of young people and families in Newark, Jersey City and statewide. In 2022, ASP of NJ opened our campus for performance and development at the Gateway Complex, one of the city’s most prestigious business centers. In addition to significantly increasing our visibility, this move has made it possible for many more young people, organizations and communities to be part of creating a forward-looking Newark.
In addition to our core programs – Development School for Youth and All Stars Talent Show Network – ASP works with community partners on hosting Operation Conversation: Cops & Kids workshops across the city. ASP also continues our collaboration with the Newark Police Department (NPD), which includes the development of a curriculum that is being used to train each of their 1,000 officers – and all future officers – in our approach to police-community relations. Additionally, ASP offers Creating Conversations, a series of workshops that bring together NPD officers, ASP alumni and New York Jets players and staff.
