About Cleveland SCORES

At Cleveland SCORES, we believe every child deserves a safe, fun, and inspiring space to learn, play, and grow after school. Our programming combines poetry, soccer, and service to help students build confidence, teamwork, and leadership—both on and off the field.

 

Each week, students participate in soccer practices, creative writing workshops, and service-learning projects designed to strengthen the body, mind, and heart. Through these experiences, they become part of a supportive team that helps them achieve their goals in school and in life.

 

Our programs are offered at select Cleveland public schools for grades 1–8 and are completely free to participating families.
