Many of our team members are actively involved in community organizations and programs supporting diverse communities. Some include:

 

All Stars Project Development School for Youth help tens of thousands of inner-city youth and their families create success in their lives through a performance-based approach. Young people learn to perform as professionals, and they partner with business leaders who conduct development workshops and provide paid summer internships at their companies. Each summer our regional offices sponsor one to two interns to be a part of this wonderful program.

The All Stars Project also runs Operation Conversation: Cops & Kids an innovative police-community relations model program that uses performance, improvisation and conversation to help inner-city teenagers and police officers develop positive relationships.
