SCORE. give DC youth the tools to succeed on the field and in the classroom.

DC SCORES is an after-school program for 700 students at 23 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.
