	SJSU Mentors		After-school Allstars
	Students in Action is a volunteer youth mentoring program. It targets at risk youth who are struggling in school and have social problems,(i.e. gangs, drugs, at home). The program partners with several community partners around San Jose.		The After School All-Stars program has been a partner of the CCCAC for three years now. After School All-Stars is a nation-wide program that provides youth with homework help, sports, and enrichment programs. The program keeps kids engaged in the hours after school when many of them would be home alone or out in the streets. We have sent mentors to their sites at Burnett and Hoover middle school in downtown San Jose. Our mentors help the students with academics and participate in games and activities. Dates: TBA Site: Hoover Middle School

	Project Progress		Co-Founder Harold Bell talking to foothill high school students
	Project Progress is a program that encourages high school students to finish school by having them listen to and interact with local bay area hip hop artists. Their vision is that by connecting with artists they look up to, the students will develop a more defined focus on finishing school and continuing on to college.
