San Francisco Bay Area
Overview
The All Stars Project of the San Francisco Bay Area (ASP of SF Bay Area), together with our philanthropic partners, plays an important role in advancing three important nationally significant areas: the development of virtual programs; thought leadership, research and evaluation; and partnership programming with high-performing local nonprofits, including ICA Cristo Rey Academy, with whom we formed a strategic partnership in 2022. Additionally, San Francisco Bay Area youth are involved in the virtual Development School for Youth and Development Coaching programs, which have strong support and engagement from our local board and corporate partners: Cooley, EY, Gilead Sciences, Grosvenor, RBC Capital Markets and many others.

“Everything changed the day I discovered the All Stars Project. At 17, I joined the Development School for Youth (DSY)—a free career development program connecting me to paid internships. It transformed my life!”
Chioma Igwebuike, ASP Alum, Associate- Investment Banking Division Compliance, Goldman Sachs; Board member, ASP of New Jersey
“All Stars pushed me to do uncomfortable things like going downtown in these large glass buildings and having conversations with people who didn't look like me. This gave me the ability to stand in spaces where I had been told that I could not or should not be.”
Cedric Soglohoun, ASP Alum, Machine Operator, Flex
“When I joined ASP, I experienced the power of performance. DSY taught me to perform bigger than I thought possible, and the All Stars Talent Show Network gave me the confidence to uplift other young people like me.”
Dwayne Dixon, ASP Alum, Program Director, ASP of Chicago
“Through All Stars, I learned to perform confidence and step into spaces I never thought I belonged in. That journey brought me to UC Santa Barbara and back to ASP, where I’m now helping youth build their futures.”
Larry Huynh, ASP Alum, Program Associate at ASP of SF Bay Area and Virtual Programs
“I joined DSY during my sophomore year of college, connecting with inspiring leaders and earning my first internship at AIG. Today, I’m proud to work at ASP and give back to the program that launched my career.”
Emily Munguia, ASP Alum, Assistant Director of Development at ASP of New York
“All Stars has given me hope, opportunity, confidence and long-lasting relationships that I still carry with me today. My first DSY internship opened new doors for me professionally and has shaped my trajectory 15 years later. My aspiration through the work of the ALC (Alumni Leadership Council) is to bring the gift of development to as many young people as possible.”
Avriel Kelly, ASP Alum, AVP, Business Support Manager, Bank of America
