Dear champion for youth,
Welcome! SCORES is a combination of soccer, poetry, and youth activism. We send all the soccer equipment and literacy curriculum you’ll need to deliver a fun and impactful enrichment program.
We’ll train and support you and your staff to create a team where students play soccer, write poetry, and organize an empowering service-learning project. We collaborate with our partners throughout the year to provide on-going support, share best practices for developing programs and hosting community events.
Keep exploring below to learn more and please contact us with any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing from you!
