ACTOR - ARTIST - CATTLE RANCHER
ABOUT DANIEL STERN
|
When I was a kid, I was a terrible student but I excelled in all things artistic - theater, choir, band, woodshed, metal shop, ceramics, and sculpture. I dropped out of high school when I was seventeen and moved to New York to become an actor. I got married and was a father by the time I was 23, and obviously had to just focus on my show business career. I did a lot of great movies but there came a point where I missed being away from my family. I decided to stop traveling so much, stay home and focus on my family and my other artistic passions. The result of that decision is that I have a wonderful family life and this body of work. |

My Work With Boys & Girls Clubs of America
Boys & Girls Clubs of America serve an incredibly vital function in thousands of communities throughout this country and on military bases throughout the world. They serve millions and millions of children every day, providing homework help, guidance counseling, sports, healthy food, mentorships, job training and countless other programs to ensure that EACH child has the chance to reach their potential, no matter what their circumstance. They also provide the working parents with much needed child care during those hours between the end of school and when they get home from work at a price that is made affordable to everyone.
My wife and I founded the Boys & Girls Club of Malibu in 1999, in two trailers on the blacktop behind Malibu High School. We saw the children in our community with nothing to do after school except surf and smoke weed and we wanted to create a safe place for all of those kids to go. That is when we turned to the Boys & Girls Clubs and realized that we did not have to reinvent the wheel. This organization already had all of the programs developed and offered us guidance, connections, grants and anything else they could offer to help us succeed.
And we did. Today our club still serves hundreds of kids each day. The same two trailers are still there, although you wouldn’t recognize them. And now there are satellite clubs on all of the elementary schools in Malibu as well. Our club is but one success story. They have helped create thousands of local clubs in cities, rural communities, reservations, military bases and anywhere there are children in need. which is everywhere. And out of each of these successful clubs comes thousands and thousands of successful young people, ready to make the world a better place.
