About After-School All-Stars

Fueling Futures

We’re proud to share our FY24 annual report: Fueling Futures—a celebration of the power of opportunity and the incredible community that makes it possible. Fueling Futures is more than a theme—it’s a testament to everyone who supports our work: the dedicated staff, school leaders, families, funders, volunteers, and community champions.

  • My grandchildren have done amazing things at ASAS. They’re learning new things and gaining confidence… these kids work hard, and I know success will follow – as long as we’re there to be able to guide them in the most positive ways.

  • Before All-Stars, I felt so shy and not in my comfort zone, but here I started to feel the rhythm and have fun. ASAS is all about having fun, but it’s also about using your voice, and finding your power and purpose.

  • When I was at ASAS, they played a big role in empowering me and saw something in me that I didn’t see in myself. I’m a walking representation of the impact of their programs.
