About Directed Initiatives for Youth, Inc., dBA Excite All Stars

Imagine if every child, no matter their circumstances, had the opportunity to find and nurture their inner greatness. How would our world be different? At Excite All Stars, we’ve dedicated our lives to making that a reality. Our mission is to give all kids equal opportunity to find, hone, and maximize their God given talents and become agents of change in their communities. Born in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, Excite All Stars began as a much-needed refuge for at-risk kids coping with unimaginable trauma. Thirteen years later, we are still filling critical gaps in our communities with comprehensive leadership development programs that provide exposure to academics, the arts, and athletics. These are life-changing experiences our kids simply do not get anywhere else! To date, we’ve served 3,000 families with over 50,000 hours of programming. And this is only the beginning. From our roots as a New Orleans summer camp, we’ve grown into a 360-degree community support system, with after-school programs, camps, workshops and a virtual learning studio to expand our reach nationwide. But the real impact is our All Stars: who gain the confidence, skills and experience to be champions of change in their communities for generations to come.
