America SCORES The SCORES Network envisions a world where all youth find their voice, achieve their goals, and unleash their full potential. Louis, and Vancouver.

America SCORES partners with urban schools to provide a high quality, team-based program that integrates soccer, poetry and service-learning. Our innovative approach improves students’ health, academic achievement and civic engagement. America SCORES is the only urban youth development program with curriculum specifically aligned with the twelve Standards for English Language Arts (National Counci

l of Teachers of English), the six National Standards for Physical Education (National Association for Sport and Physical Education), and the eight K-12 Service-Learning Standards (National Youth Leadership Council). Who we serve:
• 13,000 + youth, 100% of participants are at-risk, urban public school students
• over 800 public school teachers in nearly 300 urban elementary and middle schools
• 11 affiliate cities: Bay Area, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Washington DC, Los Angeles, Milwaukee, New York, Seattle, St. Of the students we serve 47% are Hispanic, 29% are African-American, 6% are Caucasian, 6% are bi/multiracial, 6% are Asian-American/Pacific Islander, and 6% identify as “other” and 50% of participants are girls who have traditionally been excluded from sports activities

Today, America SCORES students:
• write more than 20,000 original literary works each year
• get 10 times more exercise than the national average
• provide 200,000 hours of volunteer work to their communities

Every Poet-Athlete has something powerful to share — a story, a dream, a way of seeing the world that no one else has. But sometimes the hardest part isn’t finding your voice. It’s knowing someone is listening.

At the , we show up for each other. Teammates become writing partners. Coaches become mentors. And when you know your team believes in you, everything shifts. Poems turn into protests. Soccer games build friendships that last long after the final whistle.

Who are you showing up for today? ✨

At the , we believe every Poet-Athlete has the power to create change.

Through soccer, they learn that teams win when everyone contributes. Through poetry, they discover their voices can move people to action. Through service learning, they see how small acts add up to big impact in their neighborhoods.

Our model works because it connects what Poet-Athletes love — sports and creativity — with what the world needs: young leaders who care about their communities and aren’t afraid to speak up for what’s right.

One poem, one goal, one service project at a time, our Poet-Athletes are already changing the world. ✊

Every Poet-Athlete in our program discovers something powerful: they already have everything they need to lead.

You see it everywhere — kids stepping up as team captains, sharing their poetry at open mics, rallying their friends for service projects. This is what happens when Poet-Athletes know their voices matter.

At America SCORES, we create the spaces where leadership can grow. Because when young people believe in themselves, they inspire everyone around them to do the same. 👑

At the , we believe healthy bodies fuel engaged minds and strong communities. Our Poet-Athletes don't just need the movement goal — they exceed it while discovering the joy of being part of a team. 💪
