For the second year, participants from all After-School All-Stars chapters were invited to participate
in an artwork contest. This year, students were asked not only to draw, but also describe “What be-
ing An All-Star Means To Me”. Students could choose topics like a memorable experience, a specifi c
project they’ve worked on, fi eld trips, meeting important fi gures in their community, or anything
else that represents ASAS to them. Entries illustrate the importance and immense impact ASAS has
made, not only on our kids’ present, but also on their future.

Dear Friends, I am so proud to be the Founder and Honorary Chair of After-School All-Stars. This year, our
organization has grown to serve 80,000 at-risk kids across our country through comprehensive
after-school programs. Our unique combination of academic, enrichment and sports and fitness
activities give our kids the chance to develop crucial skills and become successful students and
community members. We have seen firsthand how our after-school programs help keep young people safe and give
them the confidence to turn away from negative influences like crime, drugs and alcohol.
Additionally, we know that After-School All-Stars improves school attendance and test scores,
producing reading and math achievement gains equivalent to an extra month of school each year.
This is truly fantastic and shows just how big of an impact we have on our children.
It is easy to see that After-School All-Stars is among the best programs for youth in the nation,
and by utilizing a network model, different locations are able to share what works, while having
the freedom to experiment and respond to their communities. For example, kids in our Hawaii
chapter have learned to surf, while youth in California saw snow and went snowboarding for the
first time. This allows us to better fulfill our goal of providing extraordinary after-school
programs to every child who needs them.
It is a privilege to extend my gratitude to our terrific corporate partners and schools, board
members, staff, volunteers and everyone else who has helped make After-School All-Stars a
huge success. Because of their outstanding efforts, more children are receiving the tutoring they
need to excel in class, the mentoring they need to navigate tough situations and the exercise they
need to be healthy. And finally, I thank our exceptional youth for inspiring us every day as they
work to achieve their dreams.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Dear Friends,Simply stated, nothing is more important than the health and safety of our kids. Tragically, the children
who are most at risk of dropping out of school or getting involved in dangerous activities are the ones
who are least likely to have parents who can afford to be there for them after school, or who know how
to get actively involved in their child’s education. Many of the children we serve are exposed daily to
crime, violence, and drugs, further compounding the threat of academic failure and juvenile delinquency.
Fortunately, we have proven solutions at hand. Our programs have been shown to promote motivation,
strengthen interpersonal skills and boost academic achievement. Among our after-school program partici-
pants, criminal activity drops, school attendance soars, and real learning that will impact their pursuit of
further education and employment increases.
I am proud to say that over the past year After-School All-Stars (ASAS) successfully launched our unique
and innovative We are ReadySM curriculum as part of an aggressive national initiative to combat America’s
high school drop-out crisis. Through We are ReadySM, which was publicly recognized at this year’s Clin-
ton Global Initiative, ASAS ensures that all rising 9th graders are equipped with the necessary skills to
succeed in high school and beyond. In addition to the year-round We are ReadySM programming, we also
launched CampUs® West this year, where middle-school students had the opportunity to learn effective
study skills, hear real-life success stories from high-school and college mentors, and discover their own
leadership abilities. We have heard back from many of the kids who are now in their fi rst year of high
school, and they are already actively applying the skills they learned at CampUs®.
The multiple achievements detailed on the following pages illustrate just how much ASAS can make a
difference. We have grown beyond expectations into an organization that supports and promotes high
school graduation, helps children become and stay healthy, connects participants with their communities
and inspires youth to achieve their dreams. Looking ahead, we plan to build on our great momentum and
expand our reach in order to further support the kids who need our help the most.
Our accomplishments would not be possible without the generosity and support we have received from
hundreds of corporate and community partners, our school partners and the volunteers who give so will-
ingly of their time and resources. Through your continued help, ASAS will remain the nation’s leading
out-of-school program model that it has become. I sincerely thank you for your dedication.

LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN AND CEO
This year proved to be a very exciting time to be in the fi eld of after-school. Right now, there is a heated
national debate surrounding public education, education reform, and how to best serve our youth. While the idea
of education reform can evoke strong and confl icting reactions, there is one thing that almost everyone can agree
on – our public education system is in crisis. Across the US, kids are dropping out of high school at alarming
rates, and one in three children in the United States are overweight or obese by the 3rd grade. Our kids are falling
behind, which means the American public school system is failing them.
Luckily, After-School All-Stars (ASAS) has solutions to help combat these crises. Unencumbered by the bureau-
cracy and politics of traditional education reform, ASAS takes action much more quickly, and now serves over
81,000 children across the US. We are national yet nimble with four national program priorities designed to
address some of the most challenging obstacles facing youth in America:
Middle-to-High School Transition: In response to America’s high school dropout crisis, 1,675
students across the US participated in last year’s pilot We Are ReadySM Program. Additionally, this summer
forty-two students from fi ve chapters attended CampUs® at Loyola Marymount University to better prepare
for high school and college.
Sports-Based Youth Development: 1,500 students participated in Sports as a Hook programming piloted
in Orlando, Miami and Columbus through a partnership with Fox Sports Network. The curriculum is
designed to fi ght the national obesity crisis by keeping kids healthy and active.
Service Learning: 2,500 ASAS students in eleven chapters conducted service projects across the US
during Global Youth Service Day, including supporting relief efforts in Haiti, cleaning parks, and serving
the homeless. Service learning will continue to be a priority for ASAS in order to keep youth invested in
their communities.
Career Exploration: To be rolled out in early 2011, ASAS is in the process of creating a new C.E.O.
(Career Exploration Opportunities) curriculum focused on personal fi nance, entrepreneurship, problem
solving and career exploration. With the global economic downturn, we aim to instill our participants with
21st century skills that will make them better prepared for careers in a changing and challenging economy.
Keeping children safe during the “danger zone” hours of 3pm-6pm and providing alternatives to harmful activi-
ties are still at the core of what we do. But beyond the threat of crime and juvenile delinquency ASAS also
motivates our participants to become productive and engaged community members, now and throughout their
adult life. In the upcoming year, we will launch our National Youth Advisory Board, which will be comprised of
one exceptional student leader from each chapter, who will meet periodically to inform staff of the various chal-
lenges facing their local chapter and provide student input to National decision making.
ASAS is committed to preparing our children for the future. We know that youth who attend our programs gain
social and academic skills, improve their self-esteem and learn respect towards their peers, school and commu-
nity through daily interaction with positive role models. We know that our kids show marked improvement
in GPA, test scores, and school attendance. Finally, we know that we would not have accomplished so
much without the incredible help from all of our supporters. We look forward to another great year and
know that together, we can help change the lives of our nation’s most vulnerable generation.

Every day, from New York City
to Honolulu, ASAS serves 81,404
youth in 453 schools at twelve
different chapters throughout the
country. Our programs are located
on school sites to provide a link
to the core school day, and offer
academic, enrichment, and health
and fitness opportunities for all
students. Our staff consists of
dedicated instructors, committed to
positive youth development.
With budget crises and deficits
facing many school districts, ASAS
provides many services after school
that are being cut from the school
day. In many of the districts we
serve, students face a stagger-
ing 50% high school dropout rate.
In some ASAS communities, 33%
of children struggle with obesity.
ASAS programs are a direct re-
sponse to these issues: we strive to
create productive learning environ-
ments that will prepare students for
healthy futures and success in life.

An offi cial launch ceremony celebrated the kick-off of the After-School All-Stars Hawaii program in
August of 2009. A “kahu” (priest) performed a traditional Hawaiian blessing at Kalakaua Middle
School in Kalihi, and Hawaii board members, school administration and offi cials, as well as
parents, donors and community members took part in the festivities. The newest All-Stars sang

SUCCESS STORIES
Student: Marquis Trammell
Chapter: Atlanta
Grade: 8th
In his third year with the ASAS Atlanta, Marquis Trammell has come to appreciate the importance of after-school programming. Marquis attends King Middle
School in Summerhill, a neighborhood ten minutes south of downtown Atlanta. In Summerhill where the schools perform below the national average and
crime risk is extremely high, this young student has worked hard to stay motivated in school. Parented by a working single mother, Marquis turned to ASAS
to stay on top of his school work and participate in activities he would not have access to otherwise.
Each week, Marquis enjoys a variety of programs, like Teen Court, a mock court for young adults to become engaged and educated
in different aspects of the law, and Debate, where students prepare arguments around issues like the war in Afghanistan.
In addition to fi nding new interests through enrichment programs, his grades have improved since joining ASAS.
He explains, “ASAS gets you on the right track toward the future, and helps you think about how to reach your goals.”
He understands that staying on top of his school work will help him avoid bad situations. Now earning mostly A’s,
Marquis has his sights set on high school and beyond.
Marquis is grateful to ASAS for introducing him to new friends, and providing academic help with tough subjects. He
offers this advice for other students, “Don’t be afraid to ask when you need help. It’s going to be challenging, but you
just have to keep working in school.” Marquis is looking forward to studying law in college, and hopes to utilize his fi nal
year in middle school to make a difference in the lives of ASAS students by serving on the National Youth Advisory Board.
Name: Katrina Garan-Patricio
Chapter: Hawaii
Grade: 9th
Katrina Garan-Patricio has been a participant in the ASAS Hawaii Chapter since it was established in 2009. Unfortunately, prior to
ASAS, Katrina had a very challenging childhood. At the young age of 11 she was removed from her home and placed in foster care due
to her parents neglect. Katrina’s traumatic childhood made her shy, and lacking in motivation and confi dence. This was until one of her
friends asked her to join ASAS. Now, she explains that the program has “hugely impacted my life.”
Living in Kapiolani, Katrina is constantly surrounded by the infl uence of gangs and problematic students. Being in ASAS has given her the
courage and motivation to push aside all the negativity. Since Katrina joined ASAS her grades have improved and she happily interacts
with other students. Before ASAS, Katrina never received the attention she now gets, and for that she is thankful.
This past Summer Katrina participated in CampUs®, a rigorous one week summer program focused on preparing 9th graders for high
school, college and careers. During the week Katrina learned about resumes, career opportunities, and how to prepare for the school year
ahead. Through her participation in this program Katrina was able to learn and develop attributes that will set her forth on a successful
path to an optimistic future.
Although Katrina’s past was full of hopelessness her future is looking very bright. Overall, she has developed a positive outlook and
understands the importance of setting and achieving goals. Katrina hopes to become a nurse or veterinarian because she enjoys
taking care of her family and improving the lives of others.

Name: Jade Thomas
Chapter: Las Vegas
Grade: 8th
Born in Las Vegas, eighth-grader Jade Thomas has been in the All-Star program for three years. After losing her father at
the age of seven, Jade had to take on more responsibility at home and take care of her three younger siblings. At fi rst, she
was nervous about joining the program as she had always been shy in school and felt like an outsider. One of her fi rst ex-
periences was going on a hike up to Mount Charleston in the Lifetime Adventures program. She had never hiked before and
was scared, but made it to the top and felt proud of herself. According to Jade, “(I thought) there was no way I could make
it to the top, but I did and it felt really good.”
Jade’s impression of her middle school is that it’s “50% good and 50% bad.” At fi rst, she didn’t really love her school. There
are a lot of fi ghts and she’s aware of some gang and drug activity. Luckily, ASAS programming changed her outlook. Today,
she feels strongly that the All-Star program helps kids like her focus on good things like classes, studying and staying away
from negative infl uences. Since joining the program, all her grades, especially in math, have improved.
Jade also attributes the All-Stars with helping her come out of her shell and meeting her best friends. Now, she loves going
to school and to the program. Jade explains, “If you’re shy, the program makes you feel like part of a family, no matter who
you are, what you sound like, or what you look like.”
Today, Jade is a role model for the younger All-Star participants, one of whom is her little sister. She enjoys welcoming and
helping out the new kids who are not really sure what to do once they sign up for the program. She has a beautiful voice
and wants to be a singer when she grows up.

players across the country to raise funds and awareness for our programming. This year, we partnered with thirteen
players who pledged to donate for each sack or tackle they recorded during the 2009-2010 pro-season. Many of them
participated in site visits where they were able to see programs run on ASAS sites. They spoke with the students
about the importance of education, and the value of after-school programs like ASAS. With partners like Powerbar
and Sports Illustrated, the program raised a total of $125,000. We look forward to working with these dedicated
athletes again, and continuing our success next year as we recruit more athletes!

Launched during the 2009-2010 season, Hoop Heroes is a collaboration of NBA players and corporate sponsors to support
the children served by After-School All-Stars. In its fi rst season, six phenomenal NBA players teamed up with ASAS. Each
player agreed to tie their professional achievements measured in points, assists, or rebounds to support ASAS’ programs
throughout our network. With the help of our national sponsor vitaminwater, the program raised over $112,000. Next
year, we plan to expand Hoop Heroes and help more children in need of ASAS programming nationwide.

“I drew a star to represent an All-Star logo. I drew the bracelet we made in Girls Just Want To
Have Fun. I also drew the paintbrush to represent the art we make. I wrote teamwork because
we work together.”
