WE ARE DC SCORES
DC
SCORES is an after-school program for 800 students at 26 DC public and
public charter elementary and middle schools. Our core values of
teamwork, leadership, and commitment are carried out daily in a program
model where students participate in soccer, poetry, service-learning,
and homework help. We hire DC public school teachers to run the program
at each school, thus providing each student with direct access to a
trusted mentor. DC SCORES, in operation since 1994, seeks to increase
student school engagement, levels of physical activity, and students’
sense of self-worth and belonging. We aim to fill gaps in an
environment where students have little to no exposure to organized
physical activity, childhood obesity rates are dangerously high, and
literacy rates are far below average. DC SCORES is an affiliate of
America SCORES, the nation’s largest after-school soccer and literacy
program
