About All Stars Project

The All Stars Project (ASP) is a growing national nonprofit organization whose mission is to transform the lives of youth from poor and underserved communities using the developmental power of performance, in partnership with caring adults, giving everyone the opportunity to grow. While the ASP's afterschool programs include hip-hop talent shows, training in theatre and the arts, and programs where we partner with the business community to help young people create a professional performance, we are doing so much more - we are building community and imagining possibility. Founded in 1981 in NYC, the ASP currently operates in five locations across the United States (New York, New Jersey, San Francisco Bay Area, Chicago and Dallas). The ASP is primarily privately funded, with two-thirds of our support coming from individuals.

All Stars Project of New Jersey

All Stars Project of NJ launched in 1999 in Newark and in 2013 opened the Scott Flamm Center for Afterschool Development in downtown Newark. The Flamm Center quickly became NJ's vibrant epicenter of development and partnership for more than 5,000 young people, families and partners from the business, education, cultural and non-profit communities. In 2017, we expanded our New Jersey footprint to include Jersey City. In 2021, ASP NJ was pleased to announce an invitation to move into the Gateway Center, Newark's most prestigious business complex, as part of Onyx Equities' commitment to reshaping Gateway's relationship with the communities of Newark. The Gateway partnership is just one of the ways ASP of NJ is building a "Campus for Development.
