Creating Afterschool Development CREATING AFTERSCHOOL DEVELOPMENT 2013 ANNUAL REPORTI NEW YORK | NEWARK | BRIDGEPORT | CHICAGO | DALLAS | SAN FRANCISCO On the cover: All Stars Above: All Stars Project’s Project of New Jersey national headquarters Scott Flamm Center for on West 42nd Street, Afterschool Development, New York City. Newark. DEAR FRIENDS: am pleased to report that 2013 was a remarkable year for the All I Stars Project and our efforts to establish Afterschool Development as a new way to engage poverty. Far too many young people and families are suffering the painful isolation and stigma of poverty. They are left with little experience of the world, a limited sense of themselves as learners and even less hope. We have shown that Afterschool Development is impacting in profound ways and enabling them to transform their lives. It works! Thanks to the support of thousands of wonderful volunteers and donors who comprise the All Stars community, we are able to invite poor youth — and, increasingly, adults — to perform and create free developmental learning experiences that help them grow dramatically and live more fulfilled lives. As I share this 2013 report filled with so much success and accomplishment, it is with a proud recognition that Afterschool Development is catching fire across America! Last year we involved a record number of people nationally, speaking face- to-face to over 22,000 young people living in poor communities, while raising $8.8 million from the private sector, the most in our history. We expanded our national geographic footprint — launching the All Stars Project of Dallas and the All Stars Project of Bridgeport. And, in its first full year, our dynamic new Scott Flamm Center for Afterschool Development in Newark welcomed 5,000 visitors. The upcoming pages capture this energy and impact! Given this rapid growth and expansion, we created an updated mission and vision for the All Stars Project to direct us as we continue to create the future that all people deserve. I am pleased to share them with you in this report. Thanks to all of you who helped to make so much growth possible in 2013. I look forward to the many ways we can work together in the years ahead. You are making a difference! Sincerely, Gabrielle L. Kurlander President and CEO 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 1 ONTO THE NEXT STAGE MISSION n 2013, the All Stars Project I created new plans to develop our The All Stars Project talent pipeline and training programs, advance our organizational model, and transforms the unveil a new mission and vision for the lives of youth and poor organization. communities using MetLife Helps the developmental All Stars Onto the Next Stage Building on more than a decade of power of performance, partnership, the MetLife Foundation in partnership with and MetLife executives played a caring adults. very important role in the All Stars strategic planning project.

  • Women and the Presidency
    Women and the Presidency By Cynthia Richie Terrell* I. Introduction As six women entered the field of Democratic presidential candidates in 2019, the political media rushed to declare 2020 a new “year of the woman.” In the Washington Post, one political commentator proclaimed that “2020 may be historic for women in more ways than one”1 given that four of these woman presidential candidates were already holding a U.S. Senate seat. A writer for Vox similarly hailed the “unprecedented range of solid women” seeking the nomination and urged Democrats to nominate one of them.2 Politico ran a piece definitively declaring that “2020 will be the year of the woman” and went on to suggest that the “Democratic primary landscape looks to be tilted to another woman presidential nominee.”3 The excited tone projected by the media carried an air of inevitability: after Hillary Clinton lost in 2016, despite receiving 2.8 million more popular votes than her opponent, ever more women were running for the presidency. There is a reason, however, why historical inevitably has not yet been realized. Although Americans have selected a president 58 times, a man has won every one of these contests. Before 2019, a major party’s presidential debates had never featured more than one woman. Progress toward gender balance in politics has moved at a glacial pace. In 1937, seventeen years after passage of the Nineteenth Amendment, Gallup conducted a poll in which Americans were asked whether they would support a woman for president “if she were qualified in every other respect?”4 * Cynthia Richie Terrell is the founder and executive director of RepresentWomen, an organization dedicated to advancing women’s representation and leadership in the United States.

  • 2007 Annual Report
    2007 ANNUAL REPORT NEW YORK • NEW JERSEY • CHICAGO • SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA The All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting human development through the use of an innovative performance-based model. The ASP creates outside of school, educational and performing arts activities for tens of thousands of poor and minority young people. It sponsors community and experimental theatre, develops leadership training and pursues volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities. The ASP actively promotes supplementary education and the performance-learning model in academic and civic arenas. Dear Friends, Twenty-seven years ago, the All Stars Project, Inc. (ASP) began by producing neighborhood talent shows in a church basement in the South Bronx. Volunteer-driven, unfunded and unrecognized, the All Stars Project invited children from New York City’s poorest neighborhoods to create something together; to put on a show. Young people came. And they just kept on coming. Nearly three decades later, the ASP – now headquartered in New York City at our 42nd Street Performing Arts and Development Center (pictured left) – is still volunteer-driven (our volunteers are our MVP’s), fully funded (100% privately) and widely recognized for the success of our programs and approach. Most importantly, the kids are still coming – in New York and Newark, Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles and Boston, Atlanta and Amsterdam in the Netherlands. Some have called it ‘grassroots show business.’ In the pages of this 2007 Annual Report, you will read about the performances ASP is producing.

Dear Friends, 2008 was an exciting year of unpr ecedented growth for the All Stars Project. We witnessed the flourishing of our newest All Stars outpost in Chicago; we established pioneering bridge-building initiatives involving young people and adults from diverse backgrounds; and, we raised more money – all from private sources – than ever before in our non-profit’s twenty-eight year history. Through the pictures and words enclosed, I am pleased to report to you on the accomplishments of the All Stars Project, which began as an unfunded, grassr oots experiment in the South Bronx in the early 1980s. With your extraordinary investment, support and vision, All Stars has become a leader in providing developmental opportunities to inner-city young people… and to people in all communities. As our country begins a new chapter , All Stars is demonstrating every day that there are new innovative approaches working in our communities. I hope you enjoy reading about our many performances, as much as we have enjoyed giving them. Sincerely, Gabrielle L.

  • Through Afterschool Development
    CREATING COMMUNITIES THROUGH AFTERSCHOOL DEVELOPMENT 2016 ANNUAL REPORT OUR MISSION The All Stars Project transforms the lives of youth and poor communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults. OUR VISION By 2020, the All Stars Project will be recognized as America’s action and thought leader in Afterschool Development, a new way of engaging poverty. OUR VALUES Integrity and trust Partnership with the poor Building community Radically inclusive Imagining possibility Improving the world Dear Friends, At a moment when people across the country and the world are working to overcome deep divisions, I am so proud to be joining with people of all ages and from all walks of life to grow a national development community filled with possibility and hope. The All Stars began working in poor neighborhoods 36 years ago, and we never left — we continue to stand on street corners, knock on doors in housing projects and walk the halls of struggling schools to offer thousands of young people and families an opportunity to be part of creating something new in their lives. Across America, All Stars' mission and vision are being championed and shaped by forward-looking and committed partners who are passionate about opening up pathways of opportunity for inner- city youth. Privately funded from the start, last year the All Stars Project raised over $9.7 million from more than 3,500 donors who are dedicated to partnering with youth and finding new ways to strengthen our American community. With this support, we have launched a campaign to establish our third Center for Afterschool Development — this one in Chicago’s downtown Loop.

  • Love Is All You Need “Let Me Say at the Risk of Sounding Ridiculous, That Revolutionaries Are Guided by the Deepest Feelings of Love.” DR
    Love is all you need “Let me say at the risk of sounding ridiculous, that revolutionaries are guided by the deepest feelings of love.” DR. ERNESTO “CHE” GUEVARA Introduction In 1964, St. John’s Episcopal Church took a revolutionary step to open a community clinic for the poorest residents of South Los Angeles. As was stated by Rev. Lawrence Carter, the Church Rector at the time and the clinic’s founder, “It would appear that the role of the Church in today’s urban civilization is that of the innovator.” The passage of health care reform (the Affordable Care Act) this past year is the most innovative and significant piece of social legislation passed in the United States in more than a generation. While many argue that the legislation didn’t go far enough, its passage was nothing short of revolutionary, and clearly the first step in an ongoing struggle to provide universal health coverage for every resident of the United States. This expression of love and caring for people is in the spirit of the morals and values that we strive for as Americans. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) will more than double the number of community health centers from the 7,000 that currently exist to more than 15,000 sites nationwide. The number of Americans served will increase from 50 million to more than 140 million patient visits. Love The passage of this legislation was clearly the result of a commitment to health as a fundamental human right, rather than a privilege - a revolutionary concept for American political discourse.

Young people spend 80% of their lives outside of school. Yet for poor youth and for many children with working parents, the opportunities for growth and development often aren’t there when the school day is over. Study after study has confirmed what any parent knows: if a child is engaged, inspired, excited by what life has to offer, then she or he will do better in school, and will be more equipped to navigate all of life’s challenges as they grow into adulthood.
