About the Missouri River All Stars After-School Program

Missouri River All-Stars will learn through laughter, challenge, and making a difference on the Missouri River. All-Stars will spend half of their time developing teamwork skills through a variety of fun challenges and half of their time working together in service to the Missouri River. This service involves digging tires out of the muddy, picking up dozens of plastic bottles, and find unique river trash.  Through these activities, All-Stars will get to know one another, the Missouri River, and themselves much better.
