All Stars Partners with Rutgers GSE
Rutgers Graduate School of Education (GSE)
is partnering with the All Stars Project Inc. to enhance research and
initiatives dedicated to after-school programing. For the past 30 years,
All Stars has opened after-school developmental programs for youth
living in urban areas across the country. Now, with the help of the GSE,
All Stars will work to establish a professional field of developmental
after-school programs and promote research in that field as a cornerstone of a new
innovative approach to addressing poverty and youth development issues
in urban communities throughout the United States. Learn more by
