For 26 years After-School All-Stars Atlanta (ASAS) has used strategically designed, developed and tested models to engage middle-school-aged at-risk children. Students are overwhelmingly minority, 100% qualify under federal guidelines for “free or reduced price lunch,” and all live in high crime neighborhoods. The purpose of this program is to offer age-appropriate, culturally relevant and free programs to families who cannot afford after-school programs. A second purpose is to provide structured physical activity and nutrition classes in schools where they do not exist creating a unique environment in which health fitness professionals can work.
