DC SCORES is one of Washington's largest and most successful youth development programs. The innovative after school model increases students' commitment to education, healthy living, and civic responsibility by combining soccer, written and spoken word, and community improvements every day after school. The DC SCORES model tackles two of the biggest barriers facing youth - childhood obesity and literacy. DC SCORES currently enrolls over 700 students annually from twenty-two DC public elementary and middle schools.
