About Dc Scores

DC SCORES is a non-profit organization based in Washington, D. C. that empowers youth through a unique combination of soccer, poetry, and service learning. By participating in DC SCORES, young individuals develop healthy lifestyles, engage actively in their education, and build the confidence and character needed to positively impact their communities. The organization creates neighborhood soccer teams, where participants, known as poet-athletes, build strong bonds and support networks. During the fall season, they engage in poetry to express themselves creatively and enhance their social and emotional well-being. In the spring, they apply teamwork skills to community service projects, tackling issues they explored in their poetry. DC SCORES aims to reach every Title 1 elementary and middle school in the District by 2030, fostering young leaders and creating a supportive community throughout their journey.
