Volunteer
Welcome to the Volunteer Hub for SCORES!
​
We believe America SCORES Seattle is the best place to volunteer. From helping kids learn soccer skills to supporting major soccer tournaments to bringing stories in from the field, volunteers make our mission possible and our community special. But of course, we're biased. Find out more by clicking below to view upcoming opportunities and join our growing volunteer squad!
What is SCORES?
​
America SCORES Seattle is an afterschool program that aims to holistically develop youth through education, recreation, and community service. Our three-pronged approach of poetry, soccer, and service learning emphasizes leadership, teamwork, and self-confidence to students who need it most.
To deliver an impactful program, we have eliminated barriers of participation by providing SCORES at no-cost to Seattle's Title 1 students. In addition to our mission, SCORES has the goal of eliminating the opportunity gap for students in educational enrichment and in youth sports in Seattle and nationwide.
