The All Stars Project (ASP) is a growing national non-profit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults.  The ASP’s afterschool programs include leadership training where young people partner with the business community to help create professional performances, hip-hop community-based talent shows, and training in theater and the arts.  Founded in 1981, the ASP is headquartered in New York City, currently operates in five locations across the United States, and reaches 10,000 young people from poor communities each year.  The ASP is 100% privately funded, primarily by individual donors.
