Artists Striving To End Poverty
Conceived by Broadway Musical Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and students from The Juilliard School,  ASTEP uses the arts to transform the lives of  underserved American youth and young people around the world by awakening their imaginations, fostering critical thinking, and helping them break the cycle of poverty.
