Empowering youth and engaging community

Homework Clubs

All-Starts will have after school access to laptops and tutoring to complete missing assignments and gain a greater understanding of what they are learning in School.

Health and Wellness

All-stars will learn to overcome adversity and build resilience to increase hope in our after school Mind Matters class. We help students understand the effects of adversity and toxic stress, and teach them skills to soothe and calm their mental and physical stress responses.

Life Skills

All-stars learn to build self-awareness, develop agency, cultivate a growth mindset, develop resilience or grit and raise expectations for themselves. Our after school life skills development course will help them achieve success in these areas during their early years.

Civic Engagement

All-stars will discuss solutions for the social issues they identify in the community and on their school campus. They will be implementing these ideas and strategies through community engagement projects.
