[YEP-DC] After-School All-Stars is seeking a DC Region VP of Regional Development

Position: Vice President of Regional Development

Organization: After-School All-Stars

Location: DC based position

Organization Background: For more than 20 years, After-School All-Stars has provided free, high-quality after-school programs to low-income, inner-city youth across the country. Now reaching 87,000 students on nearly 370 school sites, ASAS is raising the bar and helping students succeed in school and in life. Our goals for our All-Stars are the same we have for our own children: to be healthy and active, to graduate high school and go on to college, to find a job that they love and to give back to their communities. We achieve this by identifying and fueling our students' individual passions, tying their interests to tailored academic support, enrichment and health and fitness programming. After-School All-Stars gives its students a safe-haven during the "danger zone" hours of 3pm-6pm—the time of day when youth violence, drug use and other delinquent behaviors are most likely to occur. By creating caring youth adult relationships and incorporating service learning into all that we do, we help our All-Stars gain the confidence, skills and role models they need to become leaders in their community. ASAS is the largest school-based after-school program provider in the country. We serve students in 15 major cities across the country: Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Honolulu, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Miami, Newark, New York, Orlando, Philadelphia, San Antonio, San Diego, and Washington DC. 93% of ASAS students are minority, 86% qualify for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program and 62% are in the middle school grades.
