History
America SCORES LA (previously known locally as LA SCORES) was founded in 2002 to address the need for quality after-school programs in the Palms area, one of Los Angeles' socio-economically under-resourced communities. ASLA provides a safe after-school alternative in an area where youth centers, libraries and parks are noticeably absent. Our overall goal is to cultivate the literacy and leadership skills that enable urban youth to excel in school and in life.
Specialties
America SCORES LA partners with urban schools to provide a high quality, team-based program that integrates soccer, poetry, and service- learning. Our innovative approach improves students' health, academic achievement, and civic engagement.
