Our bold vision.

All Stars Project is on the forefront of building community by bridging racial, economic and social divisions to develop a caring 21st Century America.

At All Stars we are not involved in knowledge production. We are engaging development. We are offering development as a supplement to the education process. —Dr. Fred Newman
All Stars Project Co-founder

Afterschool Development as a new way of engaging poverty.

We are redefining what afterschool is and how to measure its success.  We have created an innovative approach to afterschool, which is distinct from school, and embraces development through performance, which enables youth to recreate their own lives with a new vision and new tools — which in turn can change our society.

Creating a more developmental future for our country and our world.

All Stars Project founders questioned many of the standard assumptions about learning and human development, and we have spent the last three decades creating both a practice and a science, putting us on the cutting edge of breakthroughs in these fields. We believe that development — the capacity of human beings to continuously create and recreate their lives — is necessary to re-initiate learning. For this reason, it is critical that we dedicate afterschool time to re-initiating and re-invigorating growth in young people’s lives. In this short video, All Stars Project co-founder, the late Dr. Fred Newman and other champions of Afterschool Development discuss major paradigm shifts that are happening in our world today.
