Program accomplishments

• Soccer Program - DC SCORES provides 24 weeks of soccer at schools and recreation centers across the district. Our soccer programming includes weekly practice sessions and gamedays. Each practice session focuses on skill development and team building. Weekly soccer games are part of a full league structure for boys and girls in elementary and middle school. Our weekly games provide an opportunity for families and school communities to support their poet-athletes on the playing field. All leagues culminate in playoffs, and we also offer two large-scale tournaments each year. The majority of soccer coaches are teachers from the students home school. Our coaches receive over 24 hours of training and support from DC SCORES staff in positive youth development practices and soccer-specific training.
  Expenses $2,007,860 · revenue $2,232,851
• Writing: Poetry & Service Learning - DC SCORES provides 12 weeks of poetry/spoken word programming for our poet-athletes during the fall season. Each participant is led by writing coaches to find their voice through poetry. Our participants learn a variety of poetic devices throughout the season and then work with their teammates to create an original team spoken word performance. Each team performs their original work at our Annual Poetry Slam! - the largest such event in the district. In the spring, our teams work together to complete a service-learning project. Each team identifies an issue that they would like to impact in their community. By the end of the season, each team has made a documented impact on their community and showcases their work at our annual festival called the Jamboree! Each poet-athlete learns the importance of working together and how their voice/action can make a difference. Like with soccer, the majority of our writing coaches are teachers from the students home school and receive over 24 hours of training and support from DC SCORES staff in positive youth development and curriculum-specific training.
  Expenses $806,658 · revenue $33,188
• Summer - DC SCORES provides several summer arts and soccer camps each year. Our camps focus on our values of teamwork, leadership, and commitment. The camps range from an introduction to soccer and various arts modalities to elite soccer training. All camps bring together poet-athletes from across the district to build relationships across cultural divides. Our camps provide gear, food, swimming, and numerous field trips. We hire camp staff that includes our high school and college aged alumni who have come back to help lead the program. We strive to give all of our campers the best camp experience possible, and partner with local agencies to secure the best fields and facilities available, and provide participants with a camp t-shirt and at least one meal served daily at each camp.
