America SCORES Seattle

Mission

America SCORES Seattle inspires at-risk youth to lead healthy lives, be engaged students, and have confidence and character to make a difference in the world. We envision a world where all youth find their voices, achieve their goals, and unleash their full potential.

Description

We seek these goals with an unique approach. America SCORES Seattle partners with high-need elementary 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. We create teams through the sport of soccer. We bring these teams into the classroom to discover their voice through poetry. As a team, the poet-athletes learn to use their voices to make change in their communities.
