America Scores

Founded in 1999, America SCORES is the country's only after-school program that combines soccer, poetry, and service learning into a single holistic experience for urban youth. Serving over 200 public schools in 14 cities across the country, America SCORES provides crucial programming everyday during after-school hours, when juvenile crime rates triple. Using teamwork as the unifying value, America SCORES inspires youth to be engaged students, life-long readers, and agents of change in their communities. www.americascores.org
