About After-School All-Stars

Our mission is to provide comprehensive after-school and summer programs that keep children safe and help them succeed in school and life. We are one of the country’s largest nonprofit organizations working to close the opportunity gap for low-income and historically underserved youth.

13 Years of Giving: One Record-Breaking Night

Earlier this month, supporters gathered at the home of After-School All-Stars founder Arnold Schwarzenegger for the 13th Annual Westime Charity Night, co-hosted by Governor Schwarzenegger and John Simonian of Westime. The evening raised a record-breaking $9.75 million in support of ASAS students nationwide! This milestone represents an investment in the futures of nearly 150,000 students, helping ASAS continue providing free after-school programs where young people can explore their interests, build confidence, and pursue their goals.

All-Stars for Change

We recently celebrated the inaugural All-Stars for Change, an unforgettable evening of great food, live jazz, and an incredible group of supporters coming together for After-School All-Stars and the young people we serve. A huge thank you to Novikov Beverly Hills, Hard Cut Vodka, and everyone who joined us for this special night. We’re excited to see where All-Stars for Change goes next!
