Letter from Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger
Dear Friends,
This past year has been a fantastic success for after-school programs, both in California
and across our nation. In 2008, we recognized the tenth anniversary of the 21st Century
Community Learning Centers program. This is the largest source of federal after-school
funding and makes these programs possible for 1.6 million children across the United
States. Lights on After-School Awareness Day also had record-high participation with 7,500
celebrations from coast to coast. Additionally, right here in our Golden State, we invested
approximately half a billion dollars in after-school programs through Proposition 49.
I am encouraged by the countless people who support after-school programs which play
such a vital role in the lives of our nation’s most vulnerable students. In 1992, I founded
After-School All-Stars because I saw the need many of our kids had for positive after-school
alternatives. Since then, we have been telling our youth to say no to drugs, violence, gangs,
and other negative influences, and instead have been encouraging them to build brighter
futures.
After-school programs make a difference in the lives of many young people during the
crucial hours after their classes end and before their parents are home from work. They give
our youth important skills, a support network and experiences they need in order to build
self-confidence and reach for their dreams. Through the opportunities that after-school
programs present, children can explore who they are and develop their talents and interests.
Successful programs exist only because of the generosity of many people. I extend my
deepest gratitude to our community partners and corporate sponsors, our schools and local
businesses, dedicated volunteers, and hard-working staff. Most importantly, I thank the
incredible kids who participate, engage and inspire us. I have no doubt that we have another
great year ahead of us!
Sincerely,
“I want to make sure that the
children here in America have
the same kind of upbringing,
have the same kind of
attention, get the same kind of
love and care as I’ve gotten as
a child. And this is what afterschool programs are all about.”
— Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger

Letter from ASAS National Chairman, Paul Wachter, and ASAS President & CEO, Ben Paul
Paul Wachter
Research shows that the middle school years are critical
in the development of a young person’s life, a window
when his or her identity is most impressionable. The
relationships, opportunities and experiences that middle
school students have during this time will shape their
choices and life trajectories. That’s where After-School
All-Stars comes in.
Our mission is to help our kids succeed academically,
positively develop socially and emotionally, and learn
valuable life skills such as self confidence, teamwork and
civic responsibility, all while we keep our participants
physically and emotionally safe. We served 70,000 kids
on nearly 400 school sites in free after-school programs.
Our free programs serve youth who are most in need:
Ben Paul
92 percent of our students are underrepresented minorities, and 87
percent qualify for Free and Reduced Lunch programs.
This past year, we refined our program model so that across the
nation, every program is based on the cornerstones of physical and
emotional safety, caring youth adult relationships, student voice and
choice in programs, chances to build, master and demonstrate skills,
and strong family, community and school partnerships. Through a
grant from the Atlantic Philanthropies and tireless support from the
Bridgespan Group team and our volunteers on the Strategic Planning
Steering Committee, we completed a three year Business Plan. Our
goals are to align our programs and network all across the country
and to standardize our outcomes and evaluation in order to increase
the quality of our programs and work more efficiently, and to lay the
groundwork for expansion into other communities that need AfterSchool All-Stars. Celebrating other accomplishments from the past year, we are
grateful for the unprecedented support from professional sports
organizations across the country, and in particular, NBA superstar
page 2 • After-School All-Stars Annual Report 07-08
Kobe Bryant, who personally held basketball clinics with our students,
visited our schools in Los Angeles, Miami and Orlando to speak with
thousands of children, and who continues to spread the message
about the importance of after-school. We salute board member Tom
Werner who hosted a fundraising reception at the historic Boston
Red Sox vs. Los Angeles Dodgers baseball game. And we are grateful
to Shaun Phillips of the San Diego Chargers who launched the Sack
Attack Program, pledging donations for every sack that he made on
the football field.
Looking ahead to 2009, we will begin planning an expansion to Hawaii,
which ranks among the top fifteen school districts in population of
low-income middle school students. Our program priorities include
providing more opportunities for service learning to make the
connection between what kids learn at school and how it applies to
their communities and lives. Also, we will strive to reduce the high
school drop out rate by better preparing our eighth graders for their
transition from middle to high school.
We are grateful to our many donors and supporters who helped us
sustain and expand our programs, so that one day all children will
have access to high quality after-school programs. Thank you to our
founder, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, for you vision, thank you
to Henry Cisneros for your three year service as Board Chairman, and
thank you to our newest Board Member, Gary Tobey, for joining us
in this critical mission. We also thank and salute our hardworking
partners — our Executive Directors and board leadership across the
country, our passionate program staff, and especially our kids. We
look forward to continuing our important work together.

How
The ASAS Network is comprised of a National Office and thirteen chapters working closely together to ensure the delivery of high quality
programs. The National Office focuses on program quality, alignment of the ASAS Network, pursuit of geographic expansion, and national
capacity and brand-building. To support the Chapters, the National Office provides professional development opportunities, distributes grants,
disseminates best practices in the field of after-school, and most importantly offers critical services to support Chapter operations. As a result,
our Chapters are better able to deliver high quality programs to youth in their communities everyday. Due to the unity of our Network, many
successful programs start in one city and then get disseminated to other cities.

Program Pillars
Academics
ASAS programs prepare children to succeed in school and become
productive members of their communities. Our academic programs
utilize certified teachers to provide homework assistance, test
preparation and individualized tutoring in core subjects such as
English and Math. Staff members build relationships with the
local school principals and faculty to offer academic activities
that build on and reinforce material covered during the day.
ASAS also helps students develop vital “21st Century skills”
they will need for jobs in the future – skills such as using
technology, public speaking, critical thinking, teamwork,
and creative problem solving.
Enrichment
ASAS programs allow children to explore their
passions, learn new skills and participate in fun
experiential learning opportunities. Typical activities
include art, debate, filmmaking, student government,
mock trial, music, dance, drama, journalism, cooking,
fashion design and entrepreneurship. Classes are
often taught by professionals in their respective fields.
Project based enrichment classes may incorporate field
trips, career exploration and public service projects, and
culminate in Showcase Events to highlight student skills
and achievements in front of family and friends.
Health & Fitness
Each day, ASAS provides a safe and structured environment
for youth to participate in physical activities like soccer,
volleyball, basketball, hiking and hip-hop dance. Trained staff
members use research-based curricula to teach students about
the importance of nutrition and healthy living. Many chapters
hold large annual sporting events and fitness expos for their
participants. ASAS staff, trained in sports-based youth development,
stress the importance of sportsmanship, character, resilience and
leadership skills, more so than winning.
page 6 • After-School All-Stars Annual Report 07-08
Program Cornerstones
Physical and Emotional Safety
Our staff ensures all students feel secure and welcomed on
campus, comfortable, and respected in their interactions
with peers so they can fully focus on their activities. As an
example, ASAS New York staff and students work together
to create a program culture that ensures mutual respect
and support, and is free from dangerous behaviors. Students are encouraged to express themselves, take risks,
learn from mistakes, and communicate any problems or
concerns.
Caring Youth Adult Relationships
Students come to ASAS for the program and stay for the
relationships with our staff. We pride ourselves on the
close knit, caring relationships we create between staff
and students. The ASAS Los Angeles Chapter emphasizes
building positive youth relationships and prioritizes this in
staff training. Often, our staff themselves grew up in the
same neighborhoods as the students. They are referred to
as Real Models as well as Role Models since they contribute
their unique insight and understanding, and are able to
empathize with the experiences many students face.
Student Voice and Choice
The key to our success in working with large numbers
of middle-school aged youth is by giving them voice
and choice in programs. Students let staff know what
activities they want to participate in, and are then
trained and empowered to take on leadership roles in
planning these activities. For example, ASAS San Jose
runs the Entourage Service and Leadership program
where students research, select and lead service projects in the communities. In addition, students are also
asked to contribute their input into the hiring, training
and selection of staff.
Intentional Skill Building
Students have the opportunity to learn and practice
new skills that are relevant to their lives and which
they otherwise may not have the chance to experience; skills such as: computer programming, cooking, public speaking and fashion design. They are also
given an opportunity to demonstrate what they have
learned through fun culminating projects at the end
of the courses. At ASAS Las Vegas, Media All-Stars participants learn video
and editing skills through an intentional curriculum that culminates with the
production and screening of Public Service Announcements which air on local
television stations.
Community and Family Engagement
Connecting students and their families with experiences and resources in their local community is a
major priority. ASAS Atlanta offers students and their
families monthly field trips and access to museums,
sporting events, and introductions to other local
community-based organizations that can serve their
needs.
Strong School Partnerships
All of our program staff work closely with local schools,
principals, teachers and administrators to ensure a
coordinated experience for youth. Our programs take
place on school sites and could not be done without
these partnerships. We often employ local certified teachers in our programs and engage the school
staff regularly. ASAS San Antonio hires retired middle
school principals to serve as liaisons between our programs and schools.
“I know when I am working, she is here doing something constructive.
She gets her homework done so when I pick her up and we go home, it is family time.”

SUCCESS STORY: Health & Fitness in Orlando
sailboats he could use for his program, but he needed to find a
certified youth sailing instructor willing to teach for minimal pay.
After being unable to find a willing instructor, Greg decided to
become a certified youth sailing instructor himself. Greg is a former
college football player who is not someone you would immediately
picture sitting in a sailboat, however, he completed the course
training and created a sailing program with a character development
curriculum that is now offered to boys and girls regardless of skills,
size, and experience.
Max joined the sailing club in 7th grade through the ASAS program at
Howard Middle School. The program took place for eight hours every
Saturday throughout middle-school, which included setting up the
boats, learning to sail, working with your teammate, and participating
in a regatta. Greg describes Max as originally a shy child, but as
Max learned new sailing skills and performed well in the races he
developed a newfound self-confidence, and emerged as a young leader
in the ASAS sailing program, one who is able and willing to support
other students.
Sailing is a wonderful sport often only available to those who can
afford the high costs of training and equipment. One of our goals
at ASAS is to provide students with experiences they might not be
able to receive or afford on their own. For the past eight years, ASAS
Orlando has offered a free sailing program. These youth have been
given the opportunity to learn to sail in a free, year round program,
where students like Max Shuman have discovered a passion that is
inspiring and expanding his career options.
In 2000, ASAS Orlando Program Director Greg Hawn recognized
that sailing programs on Lake Fairview in Orlando are only available
to adults or those who can afford their own boats. He learned that
the City of Orlando Families Parks and Recreation Department had
page 8 • After-School All-Stars Annual Report 07-08
As Max transitioned to high school, he wanted to give back to the
community and continued his involvement with the ASAS sailing
club and his relationship with Greg. Over the past few years Max has
continued to come out to Lake Fairview on Saturdays and work with
Greg as a co-instructor, inspiring other ASAS middle school students
throughout Orlando to learn and enjoy a new sport they have never
experienced before.
Today Max is a senior in high school and in the process of applying to
college. He has been able to save for college by making extra money
offering sailing lessons, and has plans to join the sailing team at
whichever college he attends.
SUCCESS STORY: Academics In San Antonio
Jesus Campos, a 17 year old high school senior, has been participating
in the ASAS San Antonio MIRACLES Technology program since the
7th grade at Brentwood Middle School. Born and raised in San
Antonio, Texas, he joined After-School All-Stars after his mother
saw the MIRACLES Technology program advertised at a local school.
Remembering that day, Jesus says, “I knew I really wanted to learn
about computers but didn’t know anyone who could teach me.
The program gave me a chance, so I went and really enjoyed it.” He
has stayed with the program for five years, even continuing with
the program after it was moved from the center near his home to
its current location in another school district across town. He is
currently in his sixth year of participation. “The program requires
a long term commitment, and I couldn’t get a similar experience
somewhere else,” he explains.
the technology department at the local offices of AT&T, providing him
valuable work experience.
He says the program has inspired his career and college goals. In the
midst of applying to college, Jesus explains, “The program has given
me a big jump on college. My main goal is to attend and finish college.
I am looking at schools like Baylor, Trinity and St. Mary’s with good
computer engineering departments. Whatever I do, I’m sure it will
have something to do with computers.”
The MIRACLES program is a comprehensive, multi-year technology
curriculum developed and underwritten by the Todd Wagner
Foundation. It is designed to close the digital divide between lower
income and higher income students, and help youth build educational,
career and life skills. Jesus appreciates the program because, “(it)
gives me hands on training with new and different computer
programs, helps me complete my homework, stay organized and out
of trouble…Today, I’m known in my family as the ‘tech guy’.”
The ASAS program has also helped Jesus build positive long term
relationships with classmates and staff. He adds, “I like hanging out
with the friends I’ve made here and the staff are all very nice, helpful
and committed to us. Ms. Hernandez tries to get us whatever we
need to learn whenever we need it.”
Jesus has had some unique opportunities through his involvement
with ASAS. He’s had the chance to speak to a packed auditorium
about his experience when ASAS founder and California Governor
Arnold Schwarzenegger recently came to visit the school. Jesus has
also used his technology skills to earn a paid summer internship in

SUCCESS STORY: Enrichment in San Jose
Robert Greenhalgh is an 8th grader in the ASAS San Jose program at
Hoover Middle School in downtown San Jose, California. For three
years, Robert has been attending the program at his school where
he has enjoyed the sports, enrichment and independent learning
components of the program. But last year, through his involvement
with the Chapter’s Entourage Service and Leadership program, he
discovered a passion for community service and helping others.
Entourage, which was first started by ASAS Los Angeles and later
expanded to ASAS San Jose, focuses on providing youth with
leadership skills and service learning opportunities. Entourage
instructors asked Robert and his peers to spend significant time
researching, debating and selecting different local community issues
they would like to impact. As president of his local program, Robert
decided to engage his peers in an open, honest discussion on the
issue of homelessness in San Jose. They researched and discussed
facts, statistics, stereotypes and myths about the issue, and were
surprised to learn how many in the homeless population are kids.
Robert convinced his peers that local homelessness was an issue they
should work on and could do something about.
He helped his fellow students organize a school dance which raised
$1,000 to buy and serve food at a local homeless shelter. Robert and
his peers regularly visited the shelter to serve dinner, organize games
for young children, and speak with adults about their lives, situations
and what else the Entourage students could do to be helpful.
Through Entourage, Robert learned public speaking, consensus
building, mentoring, and project management skills. He continues to
organize his peers in volunteer projects for the local Special Olympics,
community clean-up projects, nursing home visits, reading to
elementary schools and teaching aspects of California’s “Too Good for
Drugs & Violence” curriculum.
page 10 • After-School All-Stars Annual Report 07-08
In September 2008, Robert and his fellow ASAS San Jose Entourage
student, Gina Gilson, were among the youngest participants to attend
the high profile Service Nation Summit in New York City. Robert
met politicians, celebrities and business leaders who are all
committed to service. He was inspired to do more and was recognized
by keynote speaker Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger for his
contributions to community. Robert has come to realize, “If I can
make a difference in one person’s life with good, then a chain reaction
will lead to hundreds and thousands of lives that are ultimately
affected by good”.
“After-School All-Stars is
a valued partner in
education. Our students

experiences that otherwise
would not be available.”

“Growing up, everybody told me I
couldn’t be a basketball player. They’d
spit stats at me about how hard it is
to make it, but I didn’t let anyone stop
me. You can accomplish anything, but
it starts with your education. When
you have knowledge and an education,
nobody can take anything from you.”
— Kobe Bryant, ASAS Ambassador

Celebrity Ambassador Kobe Bryant
Kobe Bryant joined the After-School All-Stars family in the Fall of 2007
“Only 2 out of 3,500 students got a chance to meet Kobe Bryant [at Kobe’s Basketball
Academy on LMU Campus], and I was one of them. I just about had a heart attack when I
found out. I never imagined going to college until this trip. I want to go to college, I want to
have a good job, and I want to work hard.” — Francisco, ASAS Student, San Jose
NBA Superstar Kobe Bryant was inspired to become our National
Celebrity Ambassador after he met hundreds of ASAS participants
at Edison Middle School in Los Angeles. During the visit, he enjoyed
student dance performances, toured a model car making program,
cooking and cheerleading classes, and spoke with students about
the importance of education. As a child, he did his homework every
day during lunchtime so that after school he could focus on playing
basketball.
As our National Ambassador, Kobe’s role is to raise awareness for
the after-school cause with the general public and to serve as a role
model for youth. “With the position that I’m in, I see it as an opportunity to help spread the word…and get a great cause like After-School
All-Stars out there, because it’s important for people to know about
this cause,” he explains.
Over the past year, Kobe has met thousands of ASAS participants and
volunteers in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Orlando and Miami. Recently,
Kobe hosted a basketball clinic for students at Centennial Middle
School in Miami. They practiced rebounding, agility, passing and jump
shot drills with the best basketball player in the world. Last summer,
he donated scholarships to five lucky ASAS students from Las Vegas,
Atlanta, Los Angeles, San Jose and Columbus who were able to attend
the Kobe Bryant Basketball Academy at Loyola Marymount University
in Los Angeles.

Chapter Highlights
Atlanta
ASAS Atlanta kicked off the school year with a huge Lights On After-School event at Brown Middle School that included student performances from all of the city-wide ASAS sites. Many political figures, entertainers and philanthropists were in attendance, including hiphop great Jermaine Dupree. This past year, the Chapter was able to expand from four to eight schools, thanks mostly to some notable
fundraising successes. These highlights include receiving a $1 million grant from The Marcus Foundation and a successful High Rollers
Fundraising Event. For all its great work, the Chapter received the Regional Excellence Award from the Civic League of Metro Atlanta for
its commitment to creating a safe and educational environment for inner-city middle school students.
Chicago
ASAS Chicago continued to expand its programs to more than 260 schools within the Chicago Public School
(CPS) District. A 2008 CPS evaluation of the ASAS programs noted that ASAS students demonstrated better attendance, behavior and achievement gains in math and reading than peers who did not participate. As a result,
the Chapter received increased funding from the district to expand its staff capacity and double the number of
its “Elite” program sites. Elite sites are model programs that receive additional resources to offer more program hours. Another notable 2008 highlight was the receipt of a competitive Carol M. White Physical Education
Grant from the US Department of Education to increase its health and fitness programming for students.
Columbus
ASAS Columbus kicked off the program year with their flagship summer event, the Summer Games. Sponsored by Wal-Mart, over 2,000 young
people came together at Ohio State University (OSU) for a day of fun, games and community, which was capped off with inspirational words
from legendary OSU football coach Jim Tressel. During the Arnold Classic Weekend in March, the Chapter held its 6th Annual Fundraiser
which was attended by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, baseball great Barry Larkin, and fitness guru Jack LaLane. During that weekend, students from the A+ Arts Academy program competed in the Annual Arnold Classic, bringing home first prize in the hip hop dance competition.
Dallas
ASAS Dallas expanded its partnership with the YMCA by offering a variety of school-based programs to be conducted in the Southern
Sector YMCA. Over 600 ASAS youth participate in activities such as swim lessons, computer literacy, chess, dance, and sports. The
comprehensive after-school program is currently being offered at eight schools in the Dallas Independent School District. The Chapter
has continued the MIRACLES Technology program, which uses the power of computers to build technology, educational, and life skills for
youth. In March, students had the opportunity to attend a special screening of Akeelah and The Bee during the AFI Dallas film festival at
the Inwood Theatre. All of these experiences were made possible by the continued support of the Todd Wagner Foundation.
Houston
In Houston, After-School All-Stars partners with Prepared 4 Life, a local community
based organization. During the past year, Prepared 4 Life provided comprehensive
after-school programs on six Houston middle school campuses, where over 900 youth
participated. Prepared 4 Life receives substantial support from the Holthouse Foundation for Kids. Its signature program is Lemonade Day, a city-wide educational event
designed to teach youth how to start, own and operate their own lemonade businesses.

Chapter Highlights
Los Angeles
For ASAS Los Angeles, the school year kicked off with the All-Star Saturday Celebration at the Home Depot Center where students celebrated their achievements in visual arts, performing arts, and athletics. Throughout the school year, students gave back to the community in
creative ways, including 200 students participating in the United Way’s 5K Family Walk to fight homelessness, 200 students joining the 10th
annual Cesar Chavez Walk, and 125 students taking part in the American Cancer Society’s Relay for Life Walk-A-Thon to benefit breast cancer
patients and research. The Chapter also held a successful fundraising gala themed “Reaching for the Stars” at the Beverly Hilton Hotel that
was attended by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Las Vegas
This past year marked the launch of a new program for ASAS Las Vegas focused on nature education called
Lifetime Adventures. The curriculum includes in-class lectures and hands-on experiences in the outdoors,
culminating in the unique opportunity to camp overnight. Another program that offers unique experiences
is the Media All-Stars Program, currently available in six schools. Students have the opportunity to learn
about broadcast journalism, media production, and eventually create their own public service announcements, short films and commercials. The program culminates in Media Awards Night where students present
their work. This past year also marks a great accomplishment – the State of Nevada appropriated $709,000
from the Nevada State budget to the Chapter, recognizing the great impact we have on Nevada youth.
New York
Starting with our annual summer program called CampUS, this year marked tremendous progress for ASAS New York (ASASNY). CampUS served over 1,000 inner city youth on the St. John’s University (STJ) campus in two-week programs that included sports activities
led by STJ Division I coaches and athletes, and academic sessions led by the STJ School of Education that yielded gains in reading and
writing. The summer also included the first ever Leadership and Career Academy, bringing children and parents from local homeless
shelters to St. John’s for a four-week summer program. ASAS NY also held their 2nd Annual Dinner Gala at the Rainbow Room, honoring Bruce Mosler, CEO of Cushman Wakefield. The Chapter was honored as the official charity of the Men’s Fitness Magazine Ultimate
Athlete Competition in Central Park. The year culminated with the award of two federal/state 21st Century Learning Center grants,
totaling $6 million over five years, allowing the partnership of ASASNY and STJ to grow from one to three comprehensive after-school
sites, and supporting expansion of summer programs in the years to come.
Orlando
Former Orlando City Commissioner, Betty Wyman, became the new Executive Director of ASAS Orlando, continuing our long
standing partnership with the City of Orlando, which generously donates office space and more than $1 million in annual support. The Chapter’s relationship with the NBA’s Orlando Magic basketball team provides hundreds of tickets to ASAS students
for every home game during the season. In the area of programming, the Chapter launched Digital U., a media program run in
conjunction with the University of Central Florida, where college students and professors teach youth how to create and edit
movies, culminating with the chance to air student created Public Service Announcements on local television stations. The
Chapter continues to offer unique health & fitness activities such as golf, tennis, sailing and equestrian team.

Chapter Highlights
San Antonio
ASAS San Antonio increased the number of schools with comprehensive after-school programs from seventeen to twenty, thanks to
continued support from the Federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grants and the City of San Antonio After-School Challenge grants. The Chapter also received support from the San Antonio Area Foundation to introduce a fine arts program to the curriculum. Building on a multi-year tradition, we held the Inner City Games sporting events during the summer, which were kicked off
with a successful fundraising luncheon featuring Olympic Gold Medal Swimmer Josh Davis, and former NFL Super Bowl Champion Willie
Mitchell.
South Florida
This past year, former Board Chair Raul Diaz, was hired as our new Executive Director for the South
Florida Chapter. Under his leadership, the Chapter continued to run programs in twenty-seven schools.
Program highlights include hosting SuperFest – a sports and community day serving more than 2,000
students and their families. We launched a Hip Hop for Health Program, which engaged more than 2,500
students in dance and fitness activities. An independent evaluation of the programs conducted by Educational Research Services showed that 80 percent of ASAS students showed marked improvement on
state standardized tests and one third improved their language arts and math grades.
San Jose
Serving 3,000 young people every day, ASAS San Jose programs expanded by 300 percent by growing from seven after-school program
sites to twenty-four. As one of California’s most prominent after-school leaders, former Executive Director John Poch was named to the
Board of Directors of the newly formed League of California Afterschool Providers. For the second year in a row, ASAS San Jose was one of
two charities featured at the 2nd Annual San Francisco 49ers Pasta Bowl fundraiser. Also ASAS judo athlete, Lisette Abad, represented the
United States at the Pan American Games and concluded the year by participating in the US Olympic Trials.
San Diego
In the fall, Shaun Phillips of the San Diego Chargers joined ASAS San Diego by launching SP’s
Sack Attack. He committed $1,000 to the Chapter for every sack he made on the football
field. With support from corporate sponsors like the UPS Store, Coco’s, and Carrows, Shaun
helped to raise $34,000 by recording 8.5 sacks. Springtime marked the launch of a new
enrichment program called Project Maxx, which offers career exploration of fashion related
jobs, such as fashion marketing, fashion show production, and retail careers. The program is
funded by the TJX Foundation and offered in partnership with San Diego’s Fashion Careers
College.

National Conferences
Los Angeles Summer Conference
San Jose Winter Conference
In July 2007, the ASAS Network convened in Los Angeles. The conference brought together ASAS Executive Directors and Program Directors from throughout the country for three days of learning, networking and planning for the future. To set the stage, the conference
kicked off with site visits to the four original demonstration program
locations in Los Angeles (Griffith Middle School, Mulholland Middle
School, Edison Middle School and Bret Harte Middle School), which,
along with our programs in San Jose, served as program models for
Proposition 49, the After-School for All initiative in California. Following the engaging site visits, professional development sessions
focused on fund development, board development, and the key components of successful comprehensive after-school programs. On the
final day of the conference, all attendees participated in a dialogue
on ASAS National Support Services, beginning to define the role the
National Office would play in supporting chapter operations.
In March 2008, ASAS San Jose hosted all Executive Directors and
Program Directors for a national conference focused on improving Program Impact. Board Chairman Henry Cisneros kicked off the
conference with an inspiring keynote address, and then introduced
student speaker and Pan American Championship Judo Bronze Medalist, Lisette Abad. Lisette brought the room to tears as she spoke
about the role that After-School All-Stars and Judo have played in her
life; specifically, through Judo and relationships with her mentors,
she was able to persevere through very difficult personal challenges.
The opening day concluded with school site visits, where all participants got to see San Jose’s programs in action. Additional conference
highlights included codification of our Program Model (academics,
enrichment and health/fitness), discussion and approval of our threeyear strategic plan, in-depth sessions on how after-school programs
can best support students needs, and a panel discussion with school
principals on how after-school providers can best partner work with
school staff to promote student learning.
“Because of ASAS, I have met new friends, kept a
3.8 GPA, and learned to express myself. ASAS is like
a second home for me. The staff is very friendly
and helpful. They are always there to help me with
my homework. I don’t know where I would be
without ASAS.” — Myceala Avila Terra, ASAS Student, San Jose
