Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

DC Scores' core programming is school-based, team-based, and serves the intellectual, social, emotional and physical development of children. Our core program integrates soccer, poetry, and service-learning.

Activities or mission (Part I)

DC Scores goes where kids in need are and creates neighborhood teams that give kids the confidence and skills to succeed on the playing field, in the classroom, and in life.

  • Soccer Program - DC Scores provides 24 weeks of soccer at schools and recreation centers across the district. Our soccer programming includes weekly practice sessions and game days. Each practice session focuses on skill development and team building. Weekly soccer games are part of a full league structure for boys and girls in elementary and middle school. Our weekly games provide an opportunity for families and school communities to support their poet-athletes on the playing field. All leagues culminate in playoffs, and we also offer two large-scale tournaments each year. The majority of soccer coaches are teachers from the student's home school. Our coaches receive over 24 hours of training and support from dc scores staff in positive youth development practices and soccer-specific training.

    Expenses $2,075,685 · Revenue $124,800

  • Writing: Poetry & Service Learning - DC Scores provides 12 weeks of poetry/spoken word programming for our poet-athletes during the fall season. Each participant is led by writing coaches to find their voice through poetry. Our participants learn a variety of poetic devices throughout the season and then work with their teammates to create an original team spoken word performance. Each team performs their original work at our Annual Poetry Slam! - the largest such event in the district. In the spring our teams work together to complete a service-learning project. Each team identifies an issue that they would like to impact in their community. By the end of the season each team has made a documented impact on their community and showcases their work at our annual festival called the jamboree! Each poet-athlete learns the importance of working together and how their voice/action can make a difference. Like with soccer, the majority of our writing coaches are teachers from the student's home school and receive over 24 hours of training and support from dc scores staff in positive youth development and curriculum-specific training.

    Expenses $831,519 · Revenue $2,569

  • Summer: DC Scores provides several summer arts and soccer camps each year. Our camps focus on our values of teamwork, leadership, and commitment. The camps range from an introduction to soccer and various arts modalities to elite soccer training. All camps bring together poet-athletes from across the district to build relationships across cultural divides. Our camps provide gear, food, swimming, and numerous field trips. We hire camp staff that includes our high school and college aged alumni who have come back to help lead the program. We strive to give all of our campers the best camp experiences possible, and partner with local agencies to secure the best fields and facilities available, and provide participants with a camp t-shirt and at least one meal served daily at each camp.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
