OUR MISSION

America SCORES inspires youth to lead healthy lives, be engaged students, and have the confidence and character to make a difference in the world.

OUR VISION

America SCORES New York seeks to create opportunities for young people to experience sport, express themselves and inspire positive change off the field and outside the classroom. Using a social justice youth development framework, we emphasize racial equity, fair play, teamwork and youth voice as key drivers of building a better, more equitable New York City.  

OUR PROGRAM

Deploying a unique blend of soccer, poetry and civic engagement, we partner with public schools across New York City, training coach-mentors who help shine a spotlight on our Poet-Athletes, inspiring them to develop the skills necessary to lead impactful lives off the field and outside the classroom.
