After-School All-Stars Puget Sound

Mission

After-School All-Stars (ASAS) provides comprehensive after-school programs that keep children safe and help them succeed in school and life.

Vision

Our goal is to identify and fuel our student’s individual passions by tying their interests to tailored academic support, enrichment activities and sports. By creating lasting relationships with our students and incorporating service learning, we equip our All-Stars with the confidence and skills to become productive members of their community. After-School All-Stars gives its students a safe-haven during the “danger zone” hours of 3pm-6pm – the time of day when youth violence, drug use, and other delinquent behaviors are most likely to occur. We provide effective and thoughtful supports to fight against the high school drop-out and obesity crises and to ready our students for fulfilling careers in the modern workforce.

Who We Serve

ASAS serves more than 70,000 low-income, at-risk youth at over 350 Title I schools in 19 major cities across the country — from Harlem to Hawaii.

• 91% of ASAS students are underrepresented minorities
• 85% qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program
