A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT A LETTER FROM AN ALL-STAR The journey AFTER-SCHOOL ALL-STARS has taken since our founding in 1992 has been remarkable. Over the past 20 years, we have grown to 15 cities, serving over 92,000 students in nearly 400 schools every day with a footprint that spans six time zones, from New York to Hawaii. Just this past year, we launched a new chapter in Dallas to serve even more students in need and opened an office in Washington D.C. to advocate for the broader after-school cause on Capitol Hill.

But for us, it’s not about growth. It’s about responding to the vast demand for quality after-school programs and the almost endless need to bring more resources to schools, families and students. So, as our geographic reach grows, and the needs of low-income urban students change, our programs evolve and adapt to become more responsive. Ultimately, we want every ASAS student to achieve what we would hope for our own children: to be safe and healthy, to graduate high school and go on to college, to find a career they love and then to give back to their community. To make these goals a reality, we’ve launched four national program platforms: Sports as a Hook, We Are Ready, Career Exploration Opportunities, and Life Service Action. With these programs, we are raising the bar and closing the gap in academic readiness and achievement. The success of our programs is due to extraordinary staff and volunteers who work tirelessly in pursuit of our mission. The strength of our organization lies within our people and we continue to do everything we can to invest in staff and bring them together to learn from one another and share best practices. This past year, we held our National Executive Directors’ Retreat and first ever Advocacy Day in Washington D.C.; Associate Directors’ Retreat and National Program Directors’ Conference in San Antonio; and our third National Youth Advisory Board Summit in Washington D.C. We are committed to learning from one another and more importantly, from the students we serve. This year has been the most successful in our twenty-year history. Collectively, our network is as strong as it has ever been. I am grateful for all the support we have received from the community, partners, schools, board members, hard-working staff and volunteers. I look forward to continuing our work together to provide the best possible programs to the wonderful students we serve.
My name is Mariama. I am an All-Star in the 8th grade at Columbus Collegiate Academy in Ohio. I’m writing this letter to thank ASAS for providing fun programs and giving me the opportunity of a lifetime. I have been in ASAS for two years now, and I’m glad to say that ASAS has changed my life and helped me through public speaking, meeting new people, and motivating me to achieve more. Before I was in the program, I used to stay in my own bubble. I never spoke to new people, I detested speaking in public, and it was hard for me to make friends. For a teen, I wasn’t really active, so people never noticed me or who I was. Whenever a teacher called on me, I would sweat, shake, and the words in my mouth would go away. During the summer time, I would stay inside because none of the kids in the neighborhood knew me or knew I even existed. The only place that I could be myself was at home. I knew all the people in my family, I was used to seeing the same faces every day, and no one judged me at home. My family thought I was a loud talkative person; while at school, I was the shy kid who didn’t do much but sit around. When I got the chance to go to Washington, D.C., I was both thrilled and scared at the same time. I didn’t know who I would meet and I had never been away from my family for that long. During
the whole plane ride, I rarely spoke, and I wasn’t hungry. When we arrived, everybody was so nice and very welcoming. At that moment I knew I had made the right decision when I told my aunt to sign the ASAS registration form. Through that experience, I gained a fun, loving and amazing new family outside of my home. Now, I’m not so shy anymore. I’m not as scared to speak to a group or crowd of people; and I have left my shell, which I’m very proud of. Through the struggling years of our past, I have to say that my family has come so far. When we first arrived in America, in 2004 from Liberia, Africa, our English wasn’t that great. In school kids laughed at us because of the way we spoke. Our accents were strong, so some of our words came out differently. To tell you the truth, I didn’t know what they were laughing and mocking us about, so I lived through it. I thought I had it the worst, but my aunts were bullied in high school every day. At the time their way of style wasn’t really in, so their peers made fun of their clothes, hair, and even the color of their skin. It was hard for us to get used to our new life in America. The whole family lived in one big house, which made us very close. As the years moved on, everybody went their separate ways.
I lived with my brother and three aunts. Life became even tougher for my grandparents. They struggled in making ends meet. They had to pay bills, buy food for the house, make sure we had the things we wanted, and worked from noon to midnight. At school, club sports and after-school programs cost money, so it was a little hard to find cheap and free school programs. My family wasn’t the richest family out there, but they did their best to make my brother and me happy. When I learned about ASAS, I knew that God had purposely sent ASAS our way. ASAS was free and the program offered so many activities I wanted to be part of: from sports to cooking and art. I knew I had found the perfect match for me. I am so thankful for what ASAS has done for me because without the program I might still be that shy kid in the classroom.
Sincerely,
Mariama 8th grade ASAS Ohio National Youth Advisory Board Member

Founded in 1992, ASAS will celebrate two decades of empowering youth across the nation. The mission established at our founding, to give children the tools they need to have successful futures, has remained constant. How we fulfill that mission has evolved. We started out in East Los Angeles with 40,000 youth competing in summertime athletic and academic competitions, and now, we provide comprehensive out-ofschool time programs to 92,502 participants at 347 schools. Every day, we work to address the most prevalent and pressing issues facing our youth. As we embark on our third decade, we will strive to make sure ASAS participants are safe and healthy, graduate from high school and go on to college, find a career that they love, and give back to the community.
ASAS programs allow children to explore their passions, learn new skills and participate in fun experiential enrichment activities.
ASAS provides a supportive and structured environment for youth to participate in athletic activities. Trained coaches and staff members use research-based curricula to teach students about the importance of nutrition, health and fitness.

The need for high quality after-school programs is a bipartisan issue. We receive support from many Democrats, Republicans and Independents alike.
In October 2011, ASAS opened our East Coast National office in Washington, D.C. The office works to raise the profile and voice of ASAS in national policy discussions on important issues facing youth. We are working to educate members of Congress and the White House Administration on the many benefits of effective, cost-efficient and entrepreneurial after-school programs. We are also working with leaders in the youth development field to contribute our ideas and on-the-ground experience to forge solutions to America’s high school dropout, civic engagement, childhood obesity and workforce readiness crises.

“I had a really fun time helping to plan the Memory Mural for the Lights On Afterschool celebration. Each group got a chance to talk about why after-school is special to us.

They have really helped me to see the person I want to become.
