Southeast Strong
Support Poet-Athlete City in Wards 7 & 8
This spring, we're raising $30,000 for DC SCORES programming in Southeast DC!
Why Wards 7 & 8? Out-of-school time (OST) programs, including DC SCORES, transform lives. Young people who participate in OST programming benefit from higher academic grades, greater college and career readiness, improved social and emotional well-being, and reduced involvement in crime.
Families in Ward 7 and 8 report greater interest in OST programming than wealthier households, yet face higher competition for enrolling in those programs. DC SCORES is bridging that gap.
Right now, many of our family and school communities face uncertainty. But, with your support, we can ensure our partnerships with Southeast schools remain strong and provide young people consistent, safe, joyful, and fully funded programming that will benefit them well into adulthood. Will you help sustain Poet-Athlete City in Southeast?
