Our Mission:
Empower students in urban communities using soccer, writing, creative expression, and service-learning. With teamwork as the unifying value, America SCORES inspires youth to lead healthy lifestyles, be engaged students, and become agents of change in their communities.
Who we are and what we do:
America SCORES Milwaukee, a 501(c)3 non-profit, is one of 13 affiliate sites of the national organization America SCORES. America SCORES Milwaukee provides after-school programming to nearly 200 under-served children in urban public schools.
As a youth-development program, 16 boys and 16 girls from each SCORES school participate in the following program model:
- SCORES participants receive 90 minutes of after-school programming 5 days per week for 20 weeks throughout the school year.
- SCORES participants take part in 2 writing workshops and 3 soccer sessions weekly, each led by specially trained teachers who we refer to as "coaches".
- SCORES programming offers challenging and engaging activities and learning experiences, with focus on mastering new skills during their time in the program.
- The primary focus of the SCORES program is to enhance children's writing and public speaking skills, as well as to improve physical fitness and overall health through soccer practices and games.

"I did see the article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel yesterday. It was very complimentary of the program and its goals/objectives. I know the students here at Riley love the program and we are very thankful to be a part of SCORES. Thank you so much for all that you do for the program and for the students at Riley and the other schools. The publicity was great also! Thanks again"
-Riley Elementary Principal, Andrew Patterson
