America SCORES Bay Area empowers students in urban communities using soccer, writing, creative expression, and service-learning. With teamwork as the unifying value, America SCORES Bay Area inspires youth to lead healthy lifestyles, be engaged students, and become agents of change in their communities. Through our teamwork-based approach, students develop literacy skills through creative writing workshops; improve fitness and well being through soccer activities and nutrition education; and become vital and engaged members of their communities by addressing neighborhood concerns through student-created service projects.
