welcome to america scores seattle


​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. 

We partner with high-need elementary schools to provide a high quality, team-based program that integrates soccer, poetry and service-learning. Teachers serve as soccer and writing coaches, building stronger student-teacher relationships beyond the normal school day. Our innovative approach improves students' health, academic achievement and civic engagement leadership, encouraging holistic youth development. 

  • 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.
 
SCORES’ school-based program is free to students and their families, providing transportation, uniforms and other necessary supplies to overcome barriers to participation.
