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.
They are one of the only organizations to combine sports and the arts and they are changing the lives of thousands of kids in DC - it has been truly amazing to witness.
DC Scores is one of the best nonprofit organizations that I am affiliate with in the nation. I have witnessed how it has changed the lifes of you kids. The kids develop confidence, a passion to help their communities, a love for soccer and an amazing skill in expressing themselves. I simply love the staff, coaches, teachers and board of directors.
