America Scores New York's mission is to empower students in urban communities using soccer, writing, creative expression, and service-learning. With teamwork as the unifying value, our goal is to inspire youth to lead healthy lifestyles, be engaged students, and become agents of change in their communities through poetry, soccer and service-learning. We believe that all young people have the potential to lead fulfilling lives and have a positive impact on their communities regardless of socio-economic status.
