All Stars Program
The Active Living Leadership ALL Stars program provides education, hands-on experiences, and mentorship to a cohort of approximately 20 ALL Star Student-Athletes through a series of in-person and virtual learning opportunities over the course of 10 months.
About The ALL Stars Program
ALL Stars meet for educational opportunities designed to explore what contributes to an active community, existing inequities, and how to make a difference in the community. They experience active living initiatives first-hand through participation and volunteerism with local active living organizations.
Throughout the program, ALL Stars work together in small groups (crews) with the support of a mentor. There are assigned reading materials, videos, and podcasts that each ALL Star will complete and then discuss within their crews. Ultimately, ALL Stars work together, with the support of their mentor, to complete a capstone project that addresses an identified need in the active living community.
Through active participation in the program during their senior year, ALL Stars earn a $2,500 scholarship. Additional scholarship awards are available, so there is opportunity to earn more than $2,500.
