A lot of companies use the term “rock star” to describe the people that they’d like to hire. I don’t understand why “all star” never caught on – it’s more appropriate. Rock stars come with all kinds of problems and aren’t necessarily the most desirable employees, but all stars are the best at what they do. The All Stars Project is a non-profit organization based in New York City that is “dedicated to promoting human development through the use of an innovative performance-based model.” Even though their logo kind of looks like Rock Bands, they’re all about creating all stars. They do this by “sponsoring community and experimental theatre, developing leadership training and pursuing volunteer initiatives that build and strengthen communities.” They offer a wide range of programs that are centered around theatre and the performing arts.

Are You an All Star?

I could keep blabbing about the All Stars Project, or I could let them show you by doing what they do best – performing in a video called “Singing and Dancing Our Way to Development.”

That video should cover most of what you need to know except what job openings they have. All Stars Project doesn’t seem to have a Jobs page on their website, but they do post their jobs on Idealist. Right now there’s only one opening for an Administrative Assistant for the Director of Youth Programs, but it looks like a great way to get involved with All Stars Project. You can apply by sending a cover letter and resume to Pam Hafer at jobs@allstars.org.
