Two minutes at a soccer game day or poetry slam, and you'll know that DC Scores is performing an absolutely vital service. DC Scores provides lessons in teamwork, camaraderie, expression through poetry, and much, much more to children in some of the neediest DC communities. I'm proud to be involved with such great people and such a great organization.

It's hard to imagine a nonprofit in DC that has a greater impact on youth development than DC SCORES. Were it not for DC SCORES, more than 2,000 local students would not have opportunities to play after-school soccer, develop new friendships outside the classroom, and build self-worth through ongoing poetry programs. The staff does an incredible job serving its ~60 sites today, and their ambition to continue expanding into untapped parts of the city is highly inspiring.

I am a proud supporter of DC SCORES and their genuine commitment to offering impactful programs that foster teamwork, leadership, community service and educational development for students in all 8 wards of DC.
While the students have an opportunity to receive consistent support on and off of the playing field - the DC SCORES staff, coaches, volunteers, and board members have an opportunity to witness first-hand the excitement and pure joy of a student when they share their original poem, research and implement their service-learning plan, or put on their soccer jersey.
