All Stars Project Inc

TRANSFORM THE LIVES OF YOUTH FROM POOR AND UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES USING THE DEVELOPMENTAL POWER OF PERFORMANCE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CARING ADULTS.

JOSEPH A. FORGIONE DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL FOR YOUTH AND DEVELOPMENT COACHING: DEVELOPMENT COACHING, A NEW VIRTUAL PROGRAM, GIVES YOUNG ADULTS AGED 18 TO 24 AN OPPORTUNITY TO PARTNER ONE-ON-ONE WITH CARING INDUSTRY LEADERS TO HELP GUIDE AND ENHANCE THEIR PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. DEVELOPMENT COACHING MATCHES YOUNG ADULTS WITH VOLUNTEER COACHES FROM COAST TO COAST BASED ON SHARED INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCES AND PROVIDES TRAINING THAT SUPPORTS BOTH COACH AND COACHEE TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND GROW TOGETHER. THE JOSEPH A. FORGIONE DEVELOPMENT SCHOOL FOR YOUTH (DSY) IS A LEADERSHIP-TRAINING PROGRAM FOR YOUNG PEOPLE BETWEEN THE AGES OF 16 AND 21. DSY'S LEADERSHIP-TRAINING CYCLES ARE ORGANIZED AS ENSEMBLE PERFORMANCES AND INCLUDE A SERIES OF WORKSHOPS LED BY SENIOR EXECUTIVES FROM CORPORATIONS WHO PARTNER WITH THE PROGRAM. DSY GRADUATES ARE PLACED IN SUMMER INTERNSHIPS PROVIDED BY SPONSORING COMPANIES. GIVEN THE UNCERTAINTY AND DISRUPTION IN THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY, ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF ASP'S CORPORATE PARTNERS WERE ABLE TO PROVIDE VIRTUAL (AND IN A FEW CASES, IN-PERSON) INTERNSHIPS. THE ALL STARS CREATED A "SUMMER OF DEVELOPMENT" PROGRAM SO THAT EVERY DSY GRADUATE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH BUSINESS PROFESSIONALS AND CONTINUE THEIR DEVELOPMENT JOURNEY.
