America SCORES is a national nonprofit organization that serves 8,000 students at more than 150 public and charter schools in 14 major cities, who's mission is to inspire urban youth to lead healthy lives, be engaged students, and have the confidence and character to make a difference in the world through daily after school and summer programming which combines soccer, poetry and service-learning.
Their holistic, team-based approach encourages students, 85 percent of whom live below the poverty line, to improve academically, increase physical fitness, and have a greater sense of confidence and belonging.
“We were so excited that Katie Carroll and America Scores reached out to us about joining them for a great day of soccer and laughs,” said Joshua Osit, Assistant Coach Columbia Women's Soccer. “America Scores is a great organization and we are so thrilled that we were able to share the day with them. “
